"But, mamma, now, " said Charlotte, "pray, don`t you believe
That I`m better than Jenny, my nurse?
Only see my red shoes, and the lace on my sleeve;
Her clothes are a thousand times worse.
"I ride in my coach, and have nothing to do,
And the country folks stare at me so;
And nobody dares to control me but you
Because I`m a lady, you know.
"Then, servants are vulgar, and I am genteel;
So really, `tis out of the way,
To think that I should not be better a deal
Than maids, and such people as they. "
"Gentility, Charlotte," her mother replied,
"Belongs to no station or place;
And there`s nothing so vulgar as folly and pride,
Though dress`d in red slippers and lace.
Not all the fine things that fine ladies possess
Should teach them the poor to despise;
For `tis in good manners, and not in good dress,
That the truest gentility lies`.
