Show NANA she's mistaken--
It quite begins to "feel its feet."
(With spite her soul is shaken!)

_Friendly Visitor_. I understand your family
Call it "The Changeling." Why so?
The family likeness _all_ must see.
(It squints with the left eye so!)

_Fond Mother_. Oh! there are always _some_ cross things
In _every_ Family Party.
_Your_ mother's heart has felt such stings!
(She'll think of JOE and HARTY!)

_Friendly Visitor_. Well, well, with my advice, my dear,
And lots of Liberal Tonic,
Your child we possibly may rear.
(That's one for Old Sardonic!)

_Fond Mother_. Oh! really you are quite _too_ kind!
Your own "Home-Rule Elixir"
Unfailing for your babes you find?
(Fancy _that_ dart will fix her!)

_Friendly Visitor_. You see we breed, and nurse, our own;
_We_ do not steal or borrow.
However, dear, I must be gone.
(To call again to-morrow!)

_Fond Mother_. What! must you go? Next, time no doubt.
