Transcription
:
The
girls of today, so I hear people say,
are not
so disdainful of wooers ;
The eye that is glad is (I'm told) to be had
By the least destitute of pursuers,
Be he poor, be he plain, be his youth on the wane,
Be he foolish, dull, or old-fashioned,
The girls mean to match at any old catch
Before all the husbands are "rationed".W.J.S.

by William
Summerhill,
my late
maternal grandmother's father.
