  she has a patient man,
 * And Joan a gentle lover,

And Agatha's Arth' is a hug-the-hearth,—
 * But my true love's a rover!

Mig, her man's as good as cheese
 * And honest as a briar,

Sue tells her love what he's thinking of,—
 * But my dear lad's a liar!

Oh, Sue and Prue and Agatha
 * Are thick with Mig and Joan!

They bite their threads and shake their heads
 * And gnaw my name like a bone;

And Prue says, "Mine's a patient man,
 * As never snaps me up,"

And Agatha, "Arth' is a hug-the-hearth,
 * Could live content in a cup,"
