The poem published with the image reads: They say when Dolly Madison / Wore, quite by right, the social bays, / That laughter bubbled, overrun, / The Washington of other day; / That mirth prevailed where now you'll find / Sedate and staid sobriety; / They did not then so strictly mind / The cannons of Society. / Less heed they paid to rank and station / In Madison's administration. / They say that Dolly Madison / Was wont on country legislators / To lavish smiles, and plain homespun / Was not tabooed by style's dictators, / That brains instead of clothes were prized / A things that's very hard to credit! / That with applause they recognized / The apt remark not he who said it! / Ah! Sad's the change throughout the nation / Since Madison's Administration!
Title from Puck.
