By Martinengo-Cesaresco, Evelyn Lilian Hazeldine Carrington, contessa
"Sir Engele," I hear her say,
"In what poor country have you been,
That through the city all the day
You nothing have contrived to glean!
See how your wallet folds and bends,
Well stuffed with wind and nought beside;
Accursed is he who e'er intends
As your companion to abide."
Artist: Martinengo-Cesaresco, Evelyn Lilian Hazeldine Carrington, contessa
Year: 1850
