Some are soon bagged, and some reject three dozen:
’Tis fine to see them scattering refusals
And wild dismay o’er every angry cousin
(Friends of the party), who begin accusals,
Such as—“Unless Miss Blank meant to have chosen
Poor Frederick, why did she accord perusals
To his billets? Why waltz with him? Why, I pray,
Look ‘Yes’ last night, and yet say ‘No’ to-day?
