"SALLIE" and "BILL" were the names they flung
Frankly abroad with unreticent tongue,
Lounging and staring where graciously hung
Those lovely brown eyes.

_Chorus._

Two lovely brown eyes!
Oh, what a surprise!
SALLIE and BILL your calm beauty could thrill;
Two lovely brown eyes!

Art (so I argue) for all is best,
Here, in the East, on the Day of Rest,
Lo! my pet theory put to the test!
Oh, what a surprise!
The chap staring there is a Coster true,
Trowsered in corduroy, belchered in blue;
What does _he_ think of your heavenly hue,
Two lovely brown eyes?

_Chorus._

Two lovely brown eyes!
Oh, what a surprise!
"SALLIE", he whispered, "_she's_ got, like _you_,
Two lovely brown eyes!"

The picture was one of BURNE-JONES'S best;
"SALLIE" was snub-nosed and showily drest;
