THE CHOICE.  WROTE BY A YOUNG LADY.
A man that's neither high nor low,
In party, or in stature;
No noisy rake, or fickle beau,
That's used to cringe and flatter.
And let him no learned fool,
That nods o'er musty books;
Who eats and drinks, and lives by rule,
And weighs my words and looks.
Let him by easy, frank, and gay,
Of dancing never tir'd;
Always t'have something smart to say,
But silent if required.
