A GIEL’B A GIRL FOR A' THAT.

Is there a lady in the land 'l‘hnt boasts her rank and ii’ that?

With scornfnl eye we pass her by, And little care for u' that;

For Nature's charm shall bear the palm— A girl‘s a girl for n‘ that.

What though her neck with gems she deck, With foily's gear and it’ that.

And giiily ride in pouip and pride: We can dispense with u’ that,

An honest liciirt acts no such part,— A girl‘s a girl for Ii.’ that. 4

The nobly born may proudly scorn A lowly loss and ii‘ that:

A pretty face has far more grace 'I‘han haughty looks and ii' that: A bonnie inaiid needs no such aid,— A girl’s a girl for a’ that.

Then let us trust that come it must,

Ami sure it will for u‘ that,

When faith and love, all arts above,

Shall reign supreme and ii.‘ that,

And every yoiiili confess the truth,

A girl's Ii girl for Ii.’ that. ——-——-—-—-——_.:
