Last Line: "HERSELF WITH FOOD, AND FEEL BEGLAD A NICE BOOK TO BEREAD?"
Subject(s): LANGUAGE; WORDS;VOCABULARY;

If Bet bedecks herself with gems, bestirs herself when bid,
And feels benumbed when very cold -- bewails her lot when chid,
Why shouldn't she @3bedress@1 herself with garments, and @3befeed@1
Herself with food, and feel @3beglad@1 a nice book to @3beread?@1
