[To MUSICIANS.]

Had you been here when that man and his queen

Played at so high a game, could you have found

An ancient poem for the praise of it?

It should have set out plainly that those two,

Because no man and woman have loved better,

Might sit on there contentedly, and weigh

The joy comes after. I have heard the seamew

Sat there, with all the colour in her cheeks,

As though she’d say: ‘There’s nothing happening
