AME of my heroine, simply "Rose;"

Surname, tolerable only in prose;

Habitat, Paris—that is where

She resided for change of air;

Ætat xx; complexion fair,

Rich, good-looking, and débonnair,

Smarter than Jersey-lightning—There!

Moire antiques you never meet

Sweeping the filth of a dirty street;
