ODE FOR A SOCIAL MEETING;

WITH SLIGHT ALTERATIONS BY A TEETOTALER.

COME! fill a fresh bumper, for why should for why should we go

decoction

Pour out the rich juices still bright with the sun,
dye-stuff
Till o'er the brimmed crystal the rubies shall run.
half-ripened apples

The purple globed clusters their life-dews have
bled;

taste

sugar of lead

How sweet is the breath of the fragrance they shed!

rank poisons

wines !!!

For summer's last roses lie hid in the wines
stable-boys smoking long-nines

That were garnered by maidens who laughed
through the vines.

scowl

howl

scoff

sneer

Then a smile, and a glass, and a teast, and a cheer,

strychnine and whiskey, and ratsbane and beer

For all the good wine, and we've some of it here!
In cellar, in pantry, in attic, in hall,

Down, down with the tyrant that masters us all!

Long live the gay servant-that-laughs-for-us all!

OLIVER WENDELL HOLmes,

[blocks in formation]

SNEEZING.

WHAT a moment, what a doubt!
All my nose is inside out,

All my thrilling, tickling caustic,
Pyramid rhinocerostic,

logwood

Wants to sneeze and cannot do it! How it yearns me, thrills me, stings me, While the neoter still reddens our cups as they How with rapturous torment wrings me! flow? Now says, "Sneeze, you fool, - get through it."

26

Slow Spondee stalks; strong foot! yet ill able
Ever to come up with dactyl trisyllable.
Iambics march from short to long ;

18

With a leap and a bound the swift Anapæsts throng;

One syllable long, with onc short at each side,
Amphibrachys hastes with a stately stride;
First and last being long, middle short, Amphi-

macer

Strikes his thundering hoofs like a proud highbred racer.

Sheeshee -oh! 't is most del-ishi
Ishi - ishi most del-ishi!
(Hang it, I shall sneeze till spring!)
Snuff is a delicious thing.

SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE.

LEIGH HUNT,

TO MY NOSE.

KNOWS he that never took a pinch,
Nosey, the pleasure thence which flows?
Knows he the titillating joys
Which my nose knows?
O nose, I am as proud of thee
As any mountain of its snows;
I gaze on thee, and feel that pride
A Roman knows!

ALFRED A. FORRESTER (Alfred Crowquill).

INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A baby was sleeping.......

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!).

Above the pines the moon................

A brace of sinners for no good
A chieftain, to the Highlands bound.
A child sleeps under a rose-bush fair
A cloud lay cradled near the setting sun.
A country life is sweet!.
Across the narrow beach we flit..
A dew-drop came, with a spark of flame.
A diagnosis of our history proves..
Adieu, adieu, my native shore..
A district school not far away.
Ae fond kiss and then we sever..
A fair little girl sat under a tree.......
A famous hen 's my story's theme..
Afar in the desert I love to ride..

...

A fellow in a market-town..

A flock of merry singing-birds...

A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by...

A footstep struck her ear.....

Again the violet of our early days..

A gentle knight was pricking on the plaine.

A girl who has so many willful ways..

A good wife rose from her bed one morn

A happy bit hame this auld world would be.....
Ah, Ben! say how or when.....
Ah! County Guy, the hour is nigh
Ah, Chloris, could I now but sit.
Ah, how sweet it is to love!...

Ah! little they know of true happiness.

Ah! my heart is weary waiting.

Ah, my sweet sweeting..

Ah, sweet Kitty Neil !...

973

Ah, then, how sweetly closed those crowded days.. 87
Ah, the world hath many a Horner...
Ah! what is love? It is a pretty thing..
Ah! whence yon glare.

Ah, yes,—the fight? Well, messmates, well.

‘All quiet along the Potomac”.......

All the world's a stage..

A jolly fat friar loved liquor good store...
Alas, Fra Giacomo
Alas, how light a cause may move
Alas! they had been friends in youth..
Alas! what pity 't is that regularity.....

A life on the ocean wave......

A lighter scarf of richer fold......

A light is out in Italy.
A little more toward the light.

All day long the storm of battle through the start

led valley swept..

All grim and soiled and brown with tan..........

All hail! thou noble land

At Bannockburn the English lay.

At early dawn I marked them in the sky..
"A temple to friendship," cried Laura.........
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
A thousand miles from land are we.....
At midnight, in his guarded tent...
At noon, within the dusty town...
At Paris it was, at the opera there
A traveller through a dusty road..
At setting day and rising morn.
At the close of the day, when the hamlet is still.... 737
Ave Maria! o'er the earth and sea.

By the wayside, on a mossy stone.....

Awake, awake, my Lyre .

A warrior so bold, and a virgin so bright...
Away! away! through the sightless air..

A weary weed, tossed to and fro .

A well there is in the West country.
A wet sheet and a flowing sea...
A widow-she had only one!
A wind came up out of the sea
Ay, but I know
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!.

Behave yoursel' before folk...
Behold, I have a weapon...

Behold the mansion reared by dædal Jack.
Behold the sea.......
Behold the young, the rosy Spring.
Behold this ruin! 'T was a skull....
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms... 174
Ben Battle was a soldier bold...........

Beneath a shivering canopy reclined
Beneath our consecrated elm...
Beneath this stony roof reclined..
Better trust all and be deceived..

Between Nose and Eyes a strange contest arose.... 951
Between the dark and the daylight..
Be wise to-day; 't is madness to defer....

Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy skies...... 368

Blessings on thee, little man...

Blossom of the almond-trees..
Blow, blow, thou winter wind.......
Blue gulf all around us..
Bobolink that in the meadow.
Bonnie wee thing! cannie wee thing..
Bonny Kilmeny gaed up the glen...
Break, break, break.............

Break, Fantasy, from thy cave of cloud...
Breathes there the man with soul so dead..
Buried to-day..
Burly, dozing humble-bee !...

But chief-surpassing all-a cuckoo clock.
But Enoch yearned to see her face again.
But Fortune, like some others of her sex.........
But happy they! the happiest of their kind............................
But I remember, when the fight was done..
But look! o'er the fall see the angler stand............

...

675

But now our quacks are gamesters..
But where to find that happiest spot below..
But who the melodies of morn can tell ?........
"But why do you go ?” said the lady..
483 By broad Potomac's silent shore...
582 By Nebo's lonely mountain..
692 By the flow of the inland river..
