Some women walk in hobble skirts
While others sew and cobble shirts.

Equipped with pan for cake, and book,
The prudent learn to bake and cook;

Though many, seaward hurling care,
Devote their time to curling hair.

Yet all, though coyly seeming chill,
For simple youths are scheming ill;

With every eye-glance mangling ten,
They weave their webs for tangling men.
