Miss Lucy Wright, though not so tall, / Was just the age of Sophy Ball, / But I have always understood / Miss Sophy was not half so good: / For as they both had faded teeth, / Their teacher sent for Doctor Heath, / But Sophy made a dreadful rout, / And would not have hers taken out; / But Lucy Wright endured the pain, / Nor did she ever once complain. / Her teeth return'd quite sound and white, / While Sophy's ached both day and night.
