On the Young Heiress of Lincoln's Inn Fields


96

The dainty young heiress of Lincoln's Inn Fields,
Brisk, beautiful, wealthy, and witty,
To the power of love so unwillingly yields,
That, 'tis fear'd, she'll unpeople the city.
The sparks and the beaux all languish and die,
Yet, after the conquest of many,
One little good marksman that aims with one eye
May wound her heart deeper than any.
