For they're left to the care of a maid;

My wife can't attend to "the units,"

"The millions" are wanting her aid.

And it's vulgar to care for one's offspring—

The mere brute has a love of its kind—

But she loves the whole human fam'ly,

For she is a woman of mind.

Every thing is an inch thick in dust,

And the servants do just as they please;

The ceilings are cover'd with cobwebs,
