TO ANOTHER FEMALE HEAD.
And
bulky ma'am, of the same school,
Like patience on a three-legg'd stool—
Accept my bow—behind the lines suspending
A flannel wig, and half a shirt,
Not much the whiter for the dirt—
Gowns without tails, that cry aloud for mending!
Like patience on a three-legg'd stool—
Accept my bow—behind the lines suspending
A flannel wig, and half a shirt,
Not much the whiter for the dirt—
Gowns without tails, that cry aloud for mending!
A child's cap, torn by time and rockings;
Two mittens, from two old black stockings;
A ragged parasol, a leathern cat,
David the king, in gingerbread—
King Solomon without his head,
Devour'd by some d---n'd jacobinic rat!
