THIS Ts MY ELDEST DAUGHTER, SIR! This is my eldest Daughter, Sir,

 Her mothers only care; You praise her face-Oh Sir, she iS As good as she is fair My angel Jane, is clever, too. AccOmplshm ents Pve taught her! Ill introduce you to her; Sir, This is my eldest Daughter. I've sought the aid of ornament,

 Bejewelling her curls, I've tried her beauty unadorned,

 Simplicity and pearls I've set her of to get her of,

 Till fallen off I've thought her: Yet I've softly breathed tO all the beaux- "This IS my eldest Daughter" I've tried all styles of hair dressing,

 Matlonnas, Grizzes, crops: Her waist I've laced, her back I've braced' 'Iill circulation stops! I've padded her until have

 Into Venus wrought her, But puffing her has no effect!

 This is my eldest Daughter. Her gowns are a-Ia-Ackerman,

 Her c0rslets a.la-B Bell; Yet when the season ends each beau Still leaves his T. T. l.. patronize each dejune,

 Each party on the water, Yet still she hangs upon my arm

 This is my eldesl Daughter. She did refuse Gentleman

 -I own it was absurd She thought she ought to answer "No! He took her at her word! Bnt she'd say "Ycs," if any one

 That's eligible sought her; She really is n charming girl,

 Though she's my eldest Daughter.
