乙女
MAIDEN(おとめ)[/ˈmeɪdən/]名詞
解説
付記
恋に悩む乙女が座って歌った、 この古風で、甘い歌を彼女は歌った。 フットボールの轟音をあげる若者よ、 そして見るからに美しい筋肉を求む! 彼こそが、これからできるチームの、 キャプテンだ! 彼はグリッドアイロンの上で輝くべき、 神権を持つ君主だ、 そして、彼の上で私を焦がすことは 決してないのだ。 ―― オポライン・ジョーンズ

Original
A young person of the unfair sex addicted to clewless conduct and views that madden to crime. The genus has a wide geographical distribution, being found wherever sought and deplored wherever found. The maiden is not altogether unpleasing to the eye, nor (without her piano and her views) insupportable to the ear, though in respect to comeliness distinctly inferior to the rainbow, and, with regard to the part of her that is audible, bleaten out of the field by the canary—which, also, is more portable.
Additional notes
A lovelorn maiden she sat and sang— This quaint, sweet song sang she; It's O for a youth with a football bang And a muscle fair to see! The Captain he Of a team to be! On the gridiron he shall shine, A monarch by right divine, And never to roast on it—me! Opoline Jones
