The country lass delights to read
OF Fashions gilded train;
Her hero is a noble youth;
She sghs and sighs in vain.
But when a lordly specimen
She sees among the crowd
With monocle and all the rest
She giggles right out loud.
The lady fair of high degree
TO shepherds turns her heart;
She fain would hear the echoes ring
Unto his carols smart.
But when she sees a farmer boy
And hears his rustic lay,
She looks at him through lorgnette
And bids him run away.
