THE ACTRESS

IN

HIGH LIFE:

AN EPISODE IN WINTER QUARTERS.

(Sue Petigru Bowen.)


"Grim-Visag'd War hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds,
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber,
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute."
