No. 21.—A Sestine of Stones.
The stone (1) that will capture the "mackerel-guide";
The stone (2) which might have the term "measures" applied;
The stone (3) that "O, Partner!" cries out with esprit;
The stone (4) that may grow 'mid the tall fleurs-de-lis;
The stone (5) that means "steward" in Persian, 'tis said;
And, lastly, the stone (6) in which gas burns o'erhead.
Eason C. Arlington.
