More bare-faced than before!
COMPLIMENT OF SHERIDAN TO MISS PAYNE.
’Tis true I am ill; but I cannot complain,
For he never knew pleasure who never knew Payne.
FROM DR. HOLMES’ “MODEST REQUEST.”
Thus great Achilles, who had shown his zeal
In HEALING WOUNDS, died of a WOUNDED HEEL;
Unhappy chief, who, when in childhood doused,
Had saved his BACON had his feet been SOUSED!
Accursed heel, that killed a hero stout!
