"Please God, we'll make a scholar of the poor marchioness yet; an' she / shall go in silk attire, an' siller hae to spare, or may I never rise / from this bed! " / -- Dick Swiveller.
SHE'S not like an empress, / And crowned with raven hair, / She is not "pert an' bonny," / Nor "winsome, wee, an' fair. " / But when a man's in trouble, / And darkest shadows fall, / She's just a little woman / I'd back against them all.
