"We are forced to endure you in Park and in Row,
We must bear you unwilling in hansom or 'bus;
But if any stray here, they shall meet with a No,—
So attempt not the haunt that is sacred to Us.
"Be warned, O intruder, nor venture to lag
When the nymphs of Diana the huntress draw nigh.
Fly, fly from their presence as fleet as a stag.
Lest you meet with the fate of Actæon, and die."
Thus the Ladies addressed us; the tables were set,
The silver was polished, the viands displayed.
