XXII + 

Surely ye all have overhauled + 

A country damsel’s album trim, + 

Which all her darling friends have scrawled + 

From first to last page to the rim. + 

Behold! orthography despising, + 

Metreless verses recognizing + 

By friendship how they were abused, + 

Hewn, hacked, and otherwise ill-used. + 

Upon the opening page ye find: + 

Qu’ecrirer-vouz sur ces tablettes? + 

Subscribed, toujours à vous, Annette; + 

And on the last one, underlined: + 

Who in thy love finds more delight + 

Beyond this may attempt to write. + 
