When Cinderella wed the Prince / She thought him all her Fancy Painted, / And this was not surprising since / They were not very Well Acquainted. / While he, not dreaming where she got / Glass slippers, counted on a _Dot_.
The Prince was Brave, Industrious, Wise: / Brave in bright Silks and Satins gay, / Wise in the Lore of Ladies' Eyes, / And most Industrious -- at Play; / A Leader, too -- in Fashion's Set; / And Deep -- that is to say, in Debt.
