FRANCIS FALUDI.
THE ANSWER.
Híres főrend nemzetében,
Nincsen hiba termetében.
He is of illustrious name,
Free from spot, and free from blame;
Bred as noble minds are bred,
Leading, too, as he was led:
Yet I love him not—and I
Know full well the reason why!
Lustrous are his eyes as light,
And as milk his skin is white;
Never did vermillion streak
Beauty fairer than his cheek:
Yet I love him not—and I
Know full well the reason why!
Wisdom all his forehead arches,
He is tall as mountain larches;
Waving locks of chesnut hair,
Lips as twilight dawning fair:
Yet I love him not—and I
Know full well the reason why!
