| Description |
A woman ice skates, and the wind blows up her skirt to reveal her ankles. |
| Notes |
Text: The naughty breeze! I mean no evil, / With female skirts does raise the devil -- / All pretty girls must skating go,
/ But do not like their legs to show-- / That is-- and here the dart most rankles, / If they, like you, have crooked ancles
[i.e. ankles]. / What is revealed, makes me decline / To be to you a Valentine.
