My first may be fashioned of iron or wood,And at window or door for safety is placed;In village or town it does more harm than good,Leading people their health, time, and money to waste.My second’s a lady, bewitching and fair,And for love of her people will labor and strive;Will rise before dawn, and be wearied with care,And pursue her with ardor as long as they live.My whole is what ladies admire and approve,The shopkeeper’s boast—the purchaser’s prize;’Tis a ninepenny chintz—’tis a one-shilling glove—It is something which makes people open their eyes.
