Doris
Doris was a little girl, With eyes as black as slow, She doted on romances But she never had a beau! Her years were few, but ten and six, She thought she’s many a woe, For though the boys all liked her, She did’ntdidn’t have a beau. Behold! a year doth pass aways, New York where she did go, And on the stage cavorted, Nor wanted eenev’n a beau. And now a famous, flattered star, Topnotcher of the show, With every Johnny boy in town Begging to be her beau.
Perry and Charley. Labelled; A Satire. Perry has a nature sweet, He is Oh, so kind, What ere his mother bids him, He’ll always, always mind. Charley on the other hand, Thoughtful is and meak, Always running up and down, Kindness to seek. Perry loves to stay at home, Never sees a girl, Sweetly pets his sister, As if she were a pearl.Sweetly pets is either lightly crossed out or circled by the author’s hand. Charles is written next to the circle in the margin. Charley on the other hand, Makes his trundle bed, Keeps his room quite spotless, WslksWalks with softest tread. Perry’s most unselfish He would give his coat To his little brother. On whom he doth doat. Charley on the other hand, Reverences and loves, Perry who is older--- They are turtle doves.
