MY PRETTY MAID
Where are you going to, my pretty maid?‘I'm going to publish, sir,’ she said.
Perhaps you've a fortune, my pretty maid?
‘My verse is my fortune, sir,’ she said.
Then you'd better not try it, my pretty maid.
There's an item for printing, and when it is paid,
There's ‘Commission on sales’—O innocent maid!
In your rural retreat, have you heard of THE TRADE?
Oh, where are you going to, my pretty maid?
