See proud Belinda smartly dressed

In all her flaunting Sunday best;

With muslin hat and ruffles big

She cannot comfortably dig.

Ask her if she would like to play, —

She will not answer either way;

She'll only shake herself, and then,

Just pout and grin and pout again.

Dear Grandams, meekly learn from this,

How very ill-advised it is

To don a costume fine and grand

When you go playing in the sand.

Instead of your bespangled net,

Or moire velvet edged with jet,

Just wear a gingham, simply made,

So you can tuck it up and wade.
