III. Deputations are serious and sober, Officials look palsied and sere-- They indulge in rhetoric small-beer (Instead of sound sparkling October) They're frightened about _you_, my dear-- (You, at present in two senses, dear!) They would scan the far future, and probe her, But can't--and it makes them feel queer; As you sit by the fire, looking sober, You make _them_ sit up and feel queer. IV. Your sisters, whose airs are unpleasant, Regard you with arrogant scorn-- With arrogant, unea...sy scorn-- True, they have the pull, for the present, But fear you, the fair youngest born. They know that your glory is crescent, And, though each uplifteth her horn, Each feels that _her_ glory's senescent, In spite of their duplicate scorn. V. _Miss Telegraph_, lifting her finger, Says--"Sadly this minx I mistrust-- Her manners I strangely mistrust-- She'll distance us, dear, if we linger! Ah, haste!--let us haste!--for we must! She'll eclipse us--that _would_ be a stinger!
