Verso, printed, center: "ANY BAR / Though, if you ask her name, she says ELISE, / Being plain ELIZABETH. e /en letit pass, / And own that, if her asprales tote their ease / She ever makes a point, in washing glass, / Handling the engine, turning taps for tots, / And countering change, and scorning what men say, / Of posing as a clove among the pots, / Nor often gives her dignity away. / Her head's a work of art: and, if her eyes / Be tied and ignorant, she has a waist; / Cheaply the mode she shadows; and she tries / from penny novels to amend her taste; / And, having mopped the zinc for certain years / And faced the gas, she fades and disappears."
