THE SASH, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Mamma had ordered ann, the maid
Last Line: To whip her, there's no doubt.
Subject(s): Girls; Punishment


MAMMA had ordered Ann, the maid,
Miss Caroline to wash;
And put on with her clean white frock,
A handsome muslin sash.

But Caroline began to cry,
For what you cannot think:
She said, "Oh, that's an ugly sash;
I'll have my pretty pink."

Papa, who in the parlour heard
Her make the noise and rout,
That instant went to Caroline,
To whip her, there's no doubt.
