  Illustrated H "Handsome and haughty!" a comment that came From lips which were never accustomed to malice: A girl with a presence superb as her name, And charmingly fitted for love—in a palace! And oft I have wished—for in musing alone One's fancy is apt to be very erratic— That the lady might wear—No! I never will own A thought so decidedly undemocratic! But if 'twere a coronet—this, I'll aver, No duchess on earth could more gracefully wear it; And even a democrat—thinking of her— Might surely be pardoned for wishing to share it! man and woman at windy seashore |
