RE you quite sure that Pygmalion is the only person who ever fell in love with his own handiwork?
Guesses at Truth.
UTY,—that's to say the complying
With whate'er's expected here,
On your unknown cousin's dying,
Straight be ready with the tear;
Upon etiquette relying,
Unto usage nought denying,
Lend your waist to be embraced,
Blush not even, never fear.
A. H. Clough, Poems.
HAT Jenner said on hearing in Elysium that complaints had been made of his having a statue in Trafalgar Square:—
England, ingratitude still blots
The escutcheon of the brave and free:
I saved you many million spots,
And now you grudge one spot to me.
Shirley Brooks, Wit and Humour.
