Chapter I

Slender girl with eyes of gray--
Charming mystery called Thusis--
Teach me all your lore, I pray!--
How your loveliness seduces--
How each dimple has its uses
Leading men like me astray!

II

You display in gay array
Deadly charms, without excuses;
Are they fashioned to betray
Hearts unwary, naughty Thusis?
Are your russet hairs but nooses
To ensnare some soul distrait?
