An IdyI of the Street Corner


An IdyI of the Street Corner.
Eliza was fair young girl.
Cody, and goodly, too;
And a slipper number two;
Her ankle fine and foot divine
Combinations plump,
And innocent OF cotton, that
Made hearts OF seers thump.
Alasl that many maiden holds,
AS sadly knows the poet,
That, IL her foot Is pretty, then
Her duty tits to show IL.
Eliza was not one or these,
But modest a saint,
AS a violet meath q messy stone
Or as most women ain't
On windy days, religlously
She Stunned the public street,
And muddy crossings favored by
Male connoisseurS in Feet
It fell upon an Autumn day
OF bleak and laundering mood,
Eliza was returning from
And errand OF great good;
To a narrow, muddy walk she came,
Where three bad young men stood.
Now, these were very bad young men
To whom no themes were meet
For converse they did not treat Of
Striped hose and pretty Ieet
And these young men were betting men,
And wagers they Would lay
ON any subject any man
Might start on any day.
And when Eliza they beheld
Approaching modestly,
Quoth Jones ''That hers are white and red
iii wager thee a ""
Saith Brown: s'Their hue is white and blue
Let Smith be referee"
The words the modest maiden heard,
And her mind was torn apart
With the iercest passion than can rage
In any female heart.
Dilemma dire she could not dodge,
A double-hOrned distress;
To show them or to show them not:
lift mr. GnOfl her drPSRI
But, "hoping something might turn up"
Besides her garments, she
Walked slowly to that muddy spot
Where stood the dauntless three.
The three stood calm and silent,
And looked upon her feet
Are there no stones above but such
AS serv for the thunder neett
Will no destroying Angel wing
His way adown the strcetr
Many the shapes that Fortune takes
Odd are the parts she plays!
Incredible her Instruments:
And wonderful her ways;
The maid had reached the muddy spot
Her skirt was partly raised;
With speculation In their eyes
,g Those three bad young men gaze gazsd-
A young and fiery colt,
A gTocer's wagon hitched unto,
Game like a thunderboltl
There came q burst OF thunder-sound-
Those young men where were theyr
With broken bones, both Brown and Jones
In the muddy gutter lay.
And n clod of mud with u fearful thud
IL struck the referee,
And made him like to those heather men
Who have eyes, but cannot see,
And his sense misused was cancelled like tn
OF Tom of Coventry.
And so 1t was that Eliza fair,
That goOdly, godly maid,
Passed by those three bold, bad young men,
Who had wicked wagers laid, -
And none of them knew were they red or blu
Or white without q shade.
