(O! men are stronger than dames!)

From Ballades of a Country Bookworm, by Thomas Hutchinson. London, Stanesby & Co. 1888.


Quite the Cheese.

By a Wilde Æsthete.

There once was a maiden who loved a cheese

Sing, hey! potatoes and paint!

She could eat a pound and a half with ease!

O the odorous air was faint!

What was the cheese that she loved the best?
