J. R. Planché, Songs and Poems.
HE wit of a family is usually best received among strangers.
George Eliot, Middlemarch.
WEET maids in wimples fair y-wrought,
Shall smile upon thee. Thou shalt say,
Oft, by thy halidame, there's nought
So gracious and so fair as they,
But what thy halidame may be,
I trow 'tis useless asking me.
H. Savile Clarke.
E vrai honnête homme est celui qui ne se pique de rien.
