I<br />

TO TWO BEAUTIFUL SISTERS AT DUNKIRK. 239<br />

Rosy, romping Gwladys Fort,<br />

But when you are in your teens<br />

You'll be one of Beauty's queens.<br />

Breaking lovers'<br />

hearts for sport,<br />

Pleasing, teasing Gwladys Fort.<br />

TO TWO BEAUTIFUL SISTERS AT DUNKIRK.<br />

OSALIE <strong>and</strong> Josephine,<br />

Josephine <strong>and</strong> Rosalie,<br />

Did I but require a queen.<br />

One of you that queen should be.<br />

Ay, but which ? I cannot tell<br />

Rosalie <strong>and</strong> Josephine<br />

Both attract with equal spell.<br />

Equally might be a queen.<br />

One is dark, the <strong>other</strong> fair,<br />

Both are wondrous fair to see<br />

Which the fairer, how declare,<br />

Josephine or Rosalie ?<br />

Rosy laughter, sprightly wit,<br />

Hover nigh where you are seen<br />

Graces, cupids, round -you flit,<br />

Rosalie <strong>and</strong> Josephine.<br />

Were I Sultan for a day,<br />

You should my sultanas be.<br />

Rule my realms with equal sway,<br />

Josephine <strong>and</strong> Rosahe.
