Like a regular woman of mind.

She speaks of her favourite authors

In terms far from pleasant to hear;

"Charles Dickens," she vows, "is a darling,"

"And Bulwer," she says, "is a dear;"

"Douglas Jerrold," with her "is an angel,"

And I'm an "illiterate hind,"

Upon whom her fine intellect's wasted;

I'm not fit for a woman of mind.

She goes not to Church on a Sunday,
