THE GOOD HOUSEWIFE.
BY ELIZABETH FLEMING. I like to keep my little kitchen wall As fair a3 any bright-hung banquet hall; And make the kitchen table service shine As if a passing king might come and dine. No squire most zealous of his master's state Polished his armour as I do my grate; 1 dress the window curtains that they be Fit for the finest lady's eyes to see. Brasses and glasses on the little shelfNo one can keep them as I do myself; The rosy cleanness of the kitchen floor Gladdens the eyes of thoso who seek my door. I need not fear at any time of day What unexpected guests might think or say, But when I hear the knocker's merry din, Cry without hesitation, "Welcome in!"
