31. ON LADY ANNE HAMILTON

PRAY how did she look? Was she pale, was she wan?
She was blooming and red as a cherry — poor Anne.

Did she eat? Did she drink? Yes, she drank up a can,
And ate very near a whole partridge — poor Anne.

Pray what did she do? Why, she talked to each man
And flirted with Morpeth and Breanebie — poor Anne.

Pray how was she drest? With a turban and fan,
With ear-rings, with chains, and with bracelets — poor Anne.

And how went she home? In a good warm sedan
With a muff and a cloak and a tippet — poor Anne!
