Victorian comic valentine (c1840 to 1870) 3

"Ah now I know, what was it that I smelt -
It was the bottle-nosed, rabbit-mouth'd dealer in felt;
Mother Judy might marry such fellows, but I -
Detest such a dabbler in logwood and dye.
Though your head is so big - 'tis of gossamer rig -
All bloated and puff'd like a measly pig.
Beastly swiller of swipes - what a picture is thine -
Bad luck to the girl who is your Valentine."Location: A Collection of Nineteenth Century Valentines. Early and Fine Printing Collection.
