Cast ashore lone barren isle
Inthe sea into which flows the Nsle.
With no clothes but battered old tisle--
From q full suit rather scant pisle-
i, of coarse, could not dress with much stisle.
While dwelt in that residence visle;
But as there one to srnise,
managed the years to begisle-
That had else been a long, weary whsle
With many stroll in my tsle,
And many an innocent whsle,
That kept in good order my bisle
Till ship chat sailed many misle
And this way the tale place on fise;
With the trust that it no one viii rise.

Surely wonderful for one that's in her teens,
She's read in Schiller;
And what filler
Is she when she hits plate of Boston beans,
