The Feminine Fever.

Lovely woman! you may vote For the man on whom you dote ; But you’re slightly off the scent When you’d sit in Parliament. Lovely woman ! you may fox All around the ballot-box; But, respecting public billet, Lovely woman musn’t fill it. Lovely woman ! curse the fates They have boomed up Mrs Yates ; There’s a pretty Lady MayorLovely woman ! quit the chair. Lovely woman! mixed in ages, Don’t you think you lower wages ? Lovely woman ! why not shine In an effort to combine ? Equal with a man, you say ? Why not ask for manhood’s pay ? Where you love to “ cut it fine ’’ Freezing womanhood draws the line. Lovely woman ! tell me, dear, Would’st thou stop the poor man’s beer? Siren of teetotal rout, Lovely woman ! please get out.
