Hold up your heads be beautiful by善 virtue
The piece blends moral exhortation on inner beauty with reflections on appearances. Primrose's instruction to “hold up your heads” guides women toward kindness, generosity, and moral grace as true beauty, contrasted with vanity. It recalls Mary’s purity and heavenly beauty while praising inward virtue over outward looks.

Corny jests and courting quips from a bygone page
A lighthearted sample of 19th century humor compares a tight shoe to summer rain causing corn to grow. It adds a quip on young ladies resembling arrows that cannot be released without a suitor. The tone is playful and aimed at social manners of the era.
