And where shall he find due foison
If e'en bread-and-butter's poison?
Science told our amorous Misses
Death may be conveyed in kisses;
But it did not keep the nation
From promiscuous osculation.
Now it warneth the "Young Person"
(Whom Grant Allen voids his curse on)
"Bread-and-butter Misses" even
In their food may find death's leaven!
