"COUNTRY AND DUTY."

Old Morality (in flannels) sings;—

Ouf! Free from their "howlings and whinings" awhile,

(Which, as the Times tells us, are frightful—are frightful.)

But here Nature smiles, a true Smithian smile,

And the change from the House is delightful—delightful!

A smile which, as Goschen would say, one can hear;

A susurrus sweeps over the river—the river.

Oh, Henley in May to my heart is as dear

As to Spaniards the gay Guadalquivir—dalquivir!
