No. XXV.—CAPITAL SHORT CUTS
The following example of the use of phonetic capitals and figures is fresh and original. It contains more than eighty such symbols in its twenty-four lines:—
A MAID OF ARCADY
A rosy maid of R K D
Is L N in her bower;
Brisk as U C A honey B,
And sweet as N E flower.
Does she S A herself 2 please
(XQQ the saucy miss),
She sings an L E G 2 TT,
Or blows an M T kiss.
“B mine, I say, U bonny J,
B 4 I CC mine L;
When you are gay my hopes D K,
In T sing U X L.”
Without ado she takes the Q,
Her II B 9 and B D,
“O, sir, I do not N V U
I C that U R C D.
“X S of spirits—O D V—
Begins 2 U U U up;
The cure must B a dish of T
With K N in the cup!”
