When first we met we did not guess Who could foretell the sore distress,
The inevitable disaster, When first we met ? we did not guess
That Love would prove so hard a master.
R. Bridges.
I intended an Ode,
And it turned out a Sonnet, It began a la mode, I intended an Ode ; But Rose crossed the road
In her latest new bonnet. I intended an Ode,
And it turned out a Sonnet.
Austin Dobson.
Under the sun
There's nothing new; Poem or pun, Under the sun, Said Solomon,
And he said true. Under the sun
There's nothing new.
•' Love in Idleness"

The daffodils are on the lea—
Come out, sweetheart, and bless the sun' The birds are glad, and so are we. |
