THE GIRLS.
Some girls are prudish, some discreet, And some so reckless as to flirt. But all of them are truly sweet So long as men are not too pert.
Some publicly condone a thing Which they would not in private do, And never say a word to sting Another girl, however true !
And some will openly condemn What they themselves would most enjoy— Provided that no one but them Could make it known, and thus annoy !
But through them all runs some romance — A vein of it, however small ; And none of them will lose a chance To use their charms—that’s true of all.
