  "See, Fanny," said Miss Charlotte Pride, "How fine I am to-day: A new silk hat, a sash beside; Am I not very gay? "Look at my necklace—real pearls! My ear-rings, how they shine; I think I know some little girls Would like to be as fine." Said Fanny, "Your papa, 'tis true, Your dress can well afford; But if you think I envy you, I don't—upon my word. "My father loves to see me dress Quite modest, neat, and clean; I'm happy as a queen. "Your Parents after pleasures roam, Not like papa, for he Delights to stay with me at home— Now don't you envy me?" |
