IN And to see how the flowers adorn her
Now her freaks aud her fashions you'll see if
you stray
By the store of a. STRAUSS at the corner.
When she whispered the fsncies that suited her

She begged me I'd ever remember
That her feminine fondness most frankly in

To the tricks that decked out her December.
So this bachelor gay with ye garmentes superb,
His frosty form freshly adjoining.
You exc may discern forninst the suburb,
In the brightness of any May morning.

Lies soft in q luscious surrender,
Like the heart OF that maidene with ~ecstasie

With this metamorphosis so tender.
