 | Areytos or songs and ballads of the South |  |
EPIGRAM.—BOWS AND KNOTS.
Emmeline boasts two strings to her bow—Might I teach her a wiser thing,
Then would the thoughtless damsel know,
Better to carry two beaux to her string!
Sukey, with luckier judgment led,
Wisely and silently shapes her lot,
And, never with idle delusions fed,
Soon turns her one bow into a knot.
