MIRIAM'S LOVERS
"I love the maiden passing well," Said Smith; "her figure's neat; You may go far a prettier belle Before yon chance to meet."
"A devilish pretty girl," said Scott, "She's just as sweet as honey, But then two things she lacks: she's got Neither good birth nor money."
"She's chic," said White, "and I in her Each day new charms discover; Most truthfully I can aver That, next myself, I love her."
"Somehow the girl my fancy takes, Though why I cannot tell: But there are plenty more," said Raikes, "I like almost as well."
"Few maids there are," said Jones, "whom I So fervently admire, But I have noticed in her eye A leopard's tameless fire."
