of the fountains crystalline flow.The diamonds light, the rubys glow.The shimmer of gold, the pearls pale sheen.The opals fire, the emeralds green ; •But bless the man, be he youthful or old,Handsome or ugly, fearful or bold,Who first made Paper Collars! Ah! think of the fingers blistered and red,Think of the achings of back and of head, PAPER COLLARS. 337 Ironing collars, faultless and fine,Striving to get the immaculate shineTo please the eye of fastidious man ;And then be ungrateful and cold, if you can,To that dear man, be he youthful or old,Handsome or ugly, fearful or bold.Who first made Paper Collars! Ah ! rear for your loved ones monuments fair ;Crown them with chaplets of flowers most rare;Garland their names with the perfume of song;Cherish their fame and their memory long;But rear us a statue, colossal and grand.In the fairest spot of our sunny land.In honor of him, be he youthful or old.Handsome or ugly, fearful or bold.Who first made Paper Collars! THE END. I i 1i )1 29
