<p>Miss Nancy Ellicot<br/>
Strode across the hills and broke them<br/>
Rode across the hills and broke them—<br/>
The barren New England hills<br/>
Riding to hounds<br/>
Over the cow-pasture.<br/>
<br/>
Miss Nancy Ellicott smoked<br/>
And danced all the modern dances;<br/>
And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it,<br/>
But they knew that it was modern.<br/>
<br/>
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch<br/>
Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith,<br/>
The army of unalterable law.<br/></p>
