Victorian comic Valentine (c1840 to 1870)
"Baker, your rolls and cakes are rubbish, quite,
Your bread is crusted grown;
You knock-kneed elf, you ugly fright,
You thing of skin and bone,
Do you suppose I'll e'er incline,
A man of puffs as Valentine."Location: A Collection of Nineteenth Century Valentines. Early and Fine Printing Collection.
