Cousin Nancy
| MISS NANCY ELLICOTT | |
| Strode across the hills and broke them, | |
| Rode across the hills and broke them-- | |
| The barren New England hills-- | |
| Riding to hounds | 5 |
| Over the cow-pasture. | |
| Miss Nancy Ellicott smoked | |
| And danced all the modern dances; | |
| And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it, | |
| But they knew that it was modern. | 10 |
| Upon the glazen shelves kept watch | |
| Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith, | |
| The army of unalterable law. |
