Victorian comic valentine (c1830 to 1840)

"You curious and listening elf,
You'll hear no good of your sweet self,
So take away your ear;
You fancy you are fair and fine,
And think to be my Valentine,
Over the left, my dear,
In scandal-dealing you may shine,
But not in beauty's charm divine."Location: A Collection of Nineteenth Century Valentines. Early and Fine Printing Collection.
