The man that hath no love of chess,
Is, truth to say, a sorry wight;
Disloyal to his King and Queen,
A faithless and ungallant Knight.
He hateth our good mother Church,
And sneereth at the bishop’s lawn;
May bad luck force him soon to place
His castles and estates in pawn!

If such a network as is shown in the diagram below is drawn on clear tracing-paper and placed on the page of a book, it will conceal the words beneath it.
But if, while lying close to the page, it is moved quickly round and about, the letters and words will be distinctly seen, just as objects on the other side of close lattice-work become visible as we pass them quickly in a train.
