In an elegant frock, trimm’d with beautiful lace,
And hair nicely curl’d, hanging over her face,
Young Fanny went out to the house of a friend,
With a large little party the evening to spend.
“Ah! how they will all be delighted, I guess,
And stare with surprise at my handsome new dress!”
Thus said the vain girl, and her little heart beat,
Impatient the happy young party to meet.
But, alas! they were all too intent on their play
To observe the fine clothes of this lady so gay,
And thus all her trouble quite lost its design;
