| Description |
While ice skating, a woman hikes up her skirt to reveal her thin legs. |
| Notes |
Text: Like broom-sticks shrunk, or small hat-pegs / One cannot call your's matchless legs; / For as the wind reveals by snatches,
/ One sees they're quite as thin as matches. / Vile wind that tells the story sad, / That she who skates, must also pad; /
Go whisper to this lady fine, / She cannot be my Valentine.
