A woman sits at a piano singing, and her shadow looks like a bird. The valentine puns on the word "lark" to mock the recipient
for being a ridiculously bad singer.

| Notes |
Text: You think yourself so runs the tale / A very Lark or Nightingale, / For those that hear you sing, say "hark" / "List
to that warbling, what a Lark," / While thus you sing to please the men / You are a precious Lark to them.
