One fox-faced virgin, word for word, 
Repeats each sland'rous thing she's heard, 
And sourly smiles as scandal slips 
With gusto from her thin white lips. 

She's bad enough! but list a minute. 
Beside her mate she isn't in it. 
This latter lady, 'pon my word, 
Repeats things . . . . she has never heard.
