The Siren may be said to be / The Chorus-Lady of the Sea; / Tho' Mermaids claim her as their kin, / Instead of fishy tail and fin / Two shapely feet rejoice the view / (With all that appertains thereto)!
When to these other charms we add / A voice that drives the hearer mad, / Who will dispute her claim to be / The Chorus-Lady of the Sea?
