She frOWnS that should so annoy her,
And then proclaim, with lofty brow,
Her mission is to be a lawyer.
Life gldes no more on golden wings,
A sunny waif from El Dorado;
I've learned how true the poet sings,
That coming sorrow casts its shadow,
When tutti-f1utti lost it's spell,
! felt some hidden grief impended
When she declined a caramel
knew my rosy dream had ended.
She paints no more on china plaques,
With tints that would have craZed Murillo,
Strange birds that never plumed their backs
When Faith Noah braved the biliow
Her fancy limns, with brighter brush,
The splendid triumphs that await her,
When in the court a breathless hush
Gives homage to the great debater.
'Tis sad to meet such crushing noes
From eyes as blue as Scottish heather;
'Iis sad a maid with cheeks of rose
Should have heart bound up in leather,
lis sad to keep ones passion pent,
Though Pallas' arms the fair envron;
But worse to have herquotng Kent
When one is fondly breathing Byron.
When Liilians licensed at the law
Her fame, be sure, will live forever;

In logic so extremely clever.

And cen the judge will seat his cap
