But three weeks in the country! Why, that would mean joy,

And new life for the girl, and fresh strength for the boy.

The meadow would heal them, the mountain might save,

Won't you give them a chance on the moor, by the wave?

Why, of course! You have only to know, Punch to ask,

And you'll jump at the job as a joy, not a task!

Come, delicate dame, City CROESUS rotund,

And assist Mrs. JEUNE'S "Country Holiday Fund!"

Mr. Punch asks, for her, your spare cash, and will trouble you

To send it to Thirty-seven, Wimpole Street, W.!
