The milliners who furnish "drapery Misses"[583]Throughout the season, upon speculation

Of payment ere the Honeymoon's last kisses

Have waned into a crescent's coruscation,

Thought such an opportunity as this is,

Of a rich foreigner's initiation,

Not to be overlooked—and gave such credit,

That future bridegrooms swore, and sighed, and paid it.
