We've had the heroine who sighed,
Who wept with bitter tears
And made her moan all heavy-eyed
Through patient, weary years;
We've had the one who led the charge
And waved the good old flag
The new one now Is looming large
And she affects a jagl
Yes! Whisper! 1t is all too true,
The others have been weak,
Have done the things they should not do
And of which we'll not speak.
They were best-sellers, all of them,
But interest must lag,
And now the heroine-ahemi
Wen, yes, she has a jag!
In Chapter One she sees the wine
Give color In the cup.
And later on In Chapter Nine
The lady sobers up,
In Chapter Twelve the hero learns
Her pledge has struck a snag;
This message brings the late returns:
She has another jag"
Dumas Balzac or Thackeray,
Or Dickens Scott, or Moore,
Might have heard this with mild dismay,
They'd tell us what she wore
And NIL her with unhappiness
And send her out in rags,
But never by the widest guess
Might heroines have jags
Give us the old-time heroine
AS quiet as a mouse
Who might fall into paths of sin
But never get a souse-
Back-number. She with little style
About which one might brag,
But she was not once in awhile
Depicted with a jag.
