First Line: Her eye-brow box one morning lost
Last Line: For what's an eye without a brow.
Subject(s): Eyes
HER eye-brow box one morning lost,
(The best of folks are oftenest crossed)
Sad Helen thus to Jenny said,
Her careless but afflicted maid,
Put me to bed then, wretched Jane;
Alas! when shall I rise again!
I can behold no mortal now;
For what's an eye without a brow.
