And then there was the Miss Audacia Shoestring,

A dashing demoiselle of good estate,

Whose heart was fixed upon a star or blue string;

But whether English Dukes grew rare of late,

Or that she had not harped upon the true string,

By which such Sirens can attract our great,

She took up with some foreign younger brother,

A Russ or Turk—the one's as good as t' other.
