Miss Lloyd Has Now Went To Miss Green

By Jane Austen

Miss Lloyd has now sent to Miss Green,

As, on opening the box, may be seen,

Some years of a Black Ploughman's Gauze,

To be made up directly, because

Miss Lloyd must in mourning appear

For the death of a Relative dear—

Miss Lloyd must expect to receive

This license to mourn and to grieve,

Complete, ere the end of the week—

It is better to write than to speak
