English poem
Instead of the Song at p. 37
by Anonymous
I WONDER, I swear, How a woman can bear A fop, that himself admires: Mere puppets for play, Of papier maché, Without either soul or desires.
One's pos'd in one's aim To give them a name— Things of such equivocal growth; Nor master, nor miss, But 'twixt that and this, Ridiculous copies of both.
