Miss Nancy Ellicot

Strode across the hills and broke them

Rode across the hills and broke them -- / The barren New England hills / Riding to hounds / Over the cow-pasture.

Miss Nancy Ellicott smoked / And danced all the modern dances; / And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it, / But they knew that it was modern.

Upon the glazen shelves kept watch / Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith, / The army of unalterable law.
