104 SONGS OF A SAVOYARD. 105 I said, when I first put it on, " It is plain to the veriest dunce That every beauty Will feel it her duty To yield to its glamour at once. They will see that I'm freely gold-laced In a uniform handsome and chaste " But the peripatetics Of long-haired aesthetics, Are very much more to their taste Which I never counted upon When I first put this uniform on ! 14 SOLATIUM. The broken flower Comes the cheated maid Though the tempest lower, Rain and cloud will fade ! Tak...e, O maid, these posies : Though thy beauty rare Shame the blushing roses, They are passing fair ! Wear the flowers till they fade ; Happy be thy life, O maid ! O'er the season vernal, Time may cast a shade ; Sunshine, if eternal, Makes the roses fade : Time may do his duty ; Let the thief alone Winter hath a beauty That is all his own. Fairest days are sun and shade : Happy be thy life, O maid ! 106 A NIGHTMARE. WHEN you're lying awake wiili a dismal headache, and repose is taboo'd by anxiety. I conceive you may use any language you choose to indulge in, without impropriety ; For your brain is on fire the bedclothes conspire of usual slumber to plunder you : First your counterpane goes and uncovers your toes, and your sheet slips demurely from under you ; Then the blanketing tickles you feel like mixed pickles, so terribly sharp is the pricking, And you're hot, and you're cross, and you tumble and toss till there's nothing 'twixt you and the ticking, 107 io8 SONGS OF A SAVOYARD.
