| Description |
The bashful girl wears a ribbon in her hair. Her face is hidden by a yellow fan, and her eyes are downcast. She stands in
front of a yellow settee. The border features a woman embracing a man; the pair resemble Commedia dell'arte characters. At
the bottom is a pack of matches marked "Lucifer's matches."

| Notes |
Text: Nay, cast not thy sweet eyes down, my dear, / 'Tis cruel of you thus to act; / Be they black, be they blue, be they
hazel clear, / I should like to establish the fact. / But if your eyes you thus will drop, / To pick them up I cannot stop.
