FOR A VALENTINE To A POPULAR ACTRESS.
Hail to thee, fair young Empress of the stage,
The pride the JOY, the wonder of the age,
Thy glorious triumphs in thy chosen art,
Less than thy dazzling beauty, win our heart,
None can resist the charm of ewes so bright,
of silken tresses, kissing shoulders white
As ivory, of pearly teeth. sweet lips,
of arms, hands. perfect to the finger tips:
Fen of the dainty feet, that step too blight
To crush the flowers we strew beneath them,
quite
Rewarded When thy smiles our offerings greet,
BY gum. now, Mary, you're just awful sweet!
