Children of Our Town

Lucinda! pray be more select,
In higher circles mix.

PATRICIAN

Ah, sweet Lucinda, best of girls,
How quick to take advice.
Behold her with unpapered curls,
And frock so rich and nice!

Her haughty stare! Who would suppose
That dress would change her so
Oh, blessed influence of fine clothes,
How much to thee we owe!

Dear lady-readers of whatever age,
Look backward and with me enjoy this page.
