Uncle theopolis

weren't that handsome,

And uncle theopolis

never looked at blanche

like that.

Blanche, do you think

cousin hammond

is handsome?

It don't matter

if'n blanche thinks

he's handsome.

What matters

is cousin hammond

thinking blanche is pretty.

You see, you don't

get the money

If'n she ain't

to his taste and

he don't wed her.

And this family.

And pleasures?
