     There was a young lady of Beccles,
     Who had a twin sister in Crete,
     She was dappled all over with freckles,
     From her top-knot right down to her feet;
For round about Gnossos^(sic!) the sun is so hot
One sits in a torpor, complexion forgot,
     And basks in the bountiful heat.
Now the Beccles young damosel, being a twin,
Soon reflected the state her poor sister was in,
     Though never a word came from Crete;
          But she being taller,
          The freckles were smaller,
     And stopped inches short of her feet.
