First lines
I always love to picture Eve, / Whatever captious critics say, / As one who was, as I believe, / The nicest woman of her day; / Attractive to the outward view, / And such a perfect _lady_ too!
Unselfish, -- that one can't dispute, / Recalling her intense delight, / When she acquired some novel fruit, / In giving all her friends a bite; / Her very troubles she would share / With those who happened to be there.
