She tied her raven ringlets in;

Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young man’s heart within.- The Love-knot, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

Their long, bright tresses, one by one,
As they laughed and talked in the chamber there,
After the revel was done.- After the Ball, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
