H. F. PREVOST BATTERSBY,

IN APPRECIATION
OF MUCH GOOD FELLOWSHIP.


Is happiness courted in vain?
A will o' the wisp—nothing more?
A bubble? a dream? a refrain?
Is happiness courted in vain
A certain begetter of pain—
A fruit with an asp at the core?
Is happiness courted in vain
A will o' the wisp——Nothing more!
