COMPLEXION like the winter snow,
Just tinted by the sunset glow,
Throat white as alabaster,
Teeth of pearl, and hair of gold,
And figure -- sure in Venus's mould
Th' immortal gods have cast her.

And I am proud her slave to be,
And deem it high felicity
To die, if she should will it so.
Ye fates! to-night propitious be,
For I approach divinity:
My life depends on "Yes" or "No."

Stunning girl,
Out of sight.
Guess I'll pop
Tuesday night.
Bully shape,
Pretty eyes;
Papa's rich,
Quite a prize.
Sure to have me,
Can't say no;
Lots of rocks --
It's a go.
