I 've lived next door this twenty year, And know the house is fairly worth Ten times the price ! There 's not on earth A finer building! Just inspect The place, and mention one defect ! " " Why, truly, " said the man, " I see But one. " " Indeed ! what may it be?" " The house I should not reckon deai-, I think, if yours were not so near ! " LOVE AND POETRY. To Psyche, when her maiden heart Was fancv-free, the Muses went To teach her the poetic art ; But all in vain their kind intent ; She answe...red, she did not desire To meddle with poetic fire ! But Cupid cnme, and won the mnid (Psyche " the soul " of all things good); Her husband's teaching she obeyed, And caught from him tlie lyric mood ; And ever since as all agree Love is the soul of Poesy ! REASON VERSUS CUSTOM. AN APOLOGUE. ONCE on a time, a man of sterling sense At Fashion's whims and shams took such offense, He vowed, at last, that not another day Would he submit to her despotic sway ; Thenceforth, he said, do others as they might, He meant, for one, to follow Reason's light !
