Note C — XX BETWEEN THE PIPE AND THE CHAMPAGNE

Reading edition

And then, what can a poor girl do?

She dons her good clothes, when 'tis fair:

The wind springs up, she's in a mess,

She cannot hold her hat in place

And skirts and flounces all at once;

Her eyes are quickly filled with dust,

When in her face the sly wind blows;

But 'tis more trait'rous far, my love,

When she sees not the wind's approach.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
