A Letter to Eliza
If any other son of Adam
Owns my whole name, respected Madam,
Except one boy, who's now in college,
It's quite beyond my sphere of knowledge.
A thousand pounds against a guinea
I never looked on Old Virginny
The whole Dominion to an acre
I never knew your " Dr Baker, " —
Whoso describes my hair as sable
Has told a — horizontal fable;
— Who is this saucy youth that tries a
Base trick upon my friend Eliza?
