MISS BLAYRE'S BENEFIT.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

MISS ETHALIND BLAYRE was chubby and fair,

With dimpled cheeks and auriferous hair,

And she played soubrettes at the "Wraxall Square."

Shall I portray, or let you guess,

The little details of her loveliness? -

It would n't take long to describe her dress.

Just imagine Adelaide's face,

Eliza's figure, Lydia's grace,

A yard of satin and plenty of lace, -

There you have her, Ethalind Blayre;

(Add to the picture Olivia's stare,

And of ankles, Camille's galoptious* pair.)

She at a Freshman, Jacobus hight,

Winked and ogled night after night,

Till he fell in love with her downright.
