To Harriet

To Harriet

1.

Harriet! to see such Circumspection,

In Ladies I have no objection

Concerning what they read;

An ancient Maid's a sage adviser,

Like _her_, you will be much the wiser,

In word, as well as Deed.

2.

But Harriet, I don't wish to flatter,

And really think 't would make the matter

More perfect if not quite,

If other Ladies when they preach,

Would certain Damsels also teach

More cautiously to write.

-THE END-
