Francis Burdett Money-Coutts (1852–1923)

I.On a Fair Woman

IN this green chest is laid away

The fairest frock she ever wore;

It clothed her both by night and day,

And none shall wear it evermore.

II.On a Wife

ONCE I learnt in wilful hour

How to vex him; still I keep,

Now unwilfully, my power:

Every day he comes to weep.
