276 Best of all:—an wert thou, , With incomparable red peachlike cheeks; Threads of eyebrows so cleancut!—in memory I see— As o'er her eyes a soubrette alone seeks; With thy pearls of teeth, cherry lips—beloved sir— And as well chiselled nose as can be, How I've wondered that thou and I intimates were!— Explanation:—God gave thee to me!

I again in fond memory behold before me, Pinkish mountain of loveliness tower; forma divina, au naturel, see; How his charms, yea unmatched, did o'erpower! An "eyeful" his two breasts, with fine gold scraggy hair; Graceful curves; rotund body and limb; With his robust ribs bursting through skin so fair, And his deep-channeled back breathing vim!

Once ! Six-and-twenty long years Now have rolled by since thou wert All That! Art to-day gibbering sot, maybe suffering jeers, With foul trousers and torn greasy hat? For the cup cherished thou that glad makes the sad heart.— How I wonder! Where sleptest last night? Is vitality wasted? In grave resting art?— Us together soon lead, Kindly Light!
