A KISS. ROSE kissed me to-day. Will she kiss me to-morrow? Let it be as it may, Rose kissed me to-day. But the pleasure gives way To a savour of sorrow ; Rose kissed me to-day,— Will she kiss me to-morrow? CIRCE. IN the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar; O, they fish with all nets In the School of Coquettes! 'Tis to show her new collar; In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar! A TEAR. THERE'S a tear in her eye, Such a clear little jewel! What on earth makes her cry? "Puck has killed a big fly,— And its horribly cruel;" There's a tear in her eye,— Such a clear little jewel! "AMARI ALIQUID." "WILL you hear 'All Alone'?". "No, I think I quite know it." "But you liked it, my Own?". A GREEK GIFT. HERE'S a present for Rose, How pleased she is looking! Is it verse?—is it prose? Here's a present for Rose ! Why, it's "Gouffé on Cooking!" Here's a present for Rose, How pleased she is looking! "And you liked Jane Raby!" 66 But you like me now, Rose?" "As I liked 'little Bowes !" " "Am I then to suppose ?”— "Hush!—you mustn't wake Baby!” "Did you like little Bowes?" "If you liked Jane Raby!" THE PRODIGALS. "PRINCES!—and you, most valorous, Nobles and Barons of all degrees ! Hearken awhile to the prayer of us, Beggars that come from the over-seas! Nothing we ask or of gold or fees; Harry us not with the hounds we pray; Lo, for the surcote's hem we seize,-Give us―ah! give us-but Yesterday !" |
