He writes: <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">"He says: “Miss Blank
is the hit of that show, and if I had her I could do well.” So he outbids,
perhaps at a fabulous price, the discoverer of the marvel, who probably taught
her all she knows, not as teaching for itself but as eliciting what he needed
for some play of his own, and exploits her recently acquired tricks. <b>But he has
forgotten the little poem about the maiden’s charm being enhanced by the
white-robed village choir</b>, and the marvel out of her original setting fails
him." <br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">What poem is he referring to?
