And queenly is the state she keeps, In beauty's lofty trust secure |
But I do mean to say, I have heard her declare,
When at the same moment she had on a dress Which cost five hundred dollars, and not a cent less, And jewelry worth ten times more, I should guess, That she had not a thing in the wide world to wear! |
Doubtless God could have made a better berry (than the strawberry), but doubtless God never did |
Really and truly -- I've nothing to wear. |
