little girls, this seems to say,
never stop upon your way.
never trust a stranger-friend;
no one knows how it will end.
as you're pretty, so be wise;
wolves may lurk in every guise.
handsome they may be, and kind,
gay, or charming – nevermind!
now, as then, 'tis simple truth –
sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth!
