Recipe For A Modern BonnetTwo scraps of foundation, some fragments of laceA shower of French rosebuds to droop o'er the face Fine ribbons and feathers with crape and illusion Then mix and derange them in graceful confusion Inveigle some fairy out roaming for pleasure And beg the slight favor of taking her measure The length and the breadth of her dear little pate And hasten a miniature frame to create Then pour as above the bright mixture on it And lo! You possess such love of a bonnet. -- Anon. |
