From The Girl of the Period Miscellany, May 1869.

LESBIA HATH A BEAMING EYE.

Lesbia hath a beaming eye,

But no one knows for whom it beameth;

Right and left its arrows fly,

But what they aim at no one dreameth.

Sweeter ’tis to gaze upon

My Nora’s lid that seldom rises;

Few its looks, but every one,
