One there is, the loveliest of them all, Some sweet lass of the valley, looking out For gains, and who that sees her would not buy? Fruits of her father’s orchard are her wares, And with the ruddy produce she walks round Among the crowd, half pleased with, half ashamed Of her new office, blushing restlessly.
