ON THE PICTURE OF THE DUCHESS OF DEVONSHIRE,
CUT AND STOLEN MAY, 1876.
By none could her charms be surpass'd in their day,So peerless was Devonshire's Duchess, they say;
One kiss on her cheek—ere the contest begun,
She paid down the price, and her canvass was won!
How changed now her fate! To the purchaser's cost
Her charms are cut out, and her canvass is lost!
