CRICKET IN THE GARDEN
THE PRINCE, BATTING
THE REASON
A LONG GRACE
REMEMBER, PLEASE!
THE FORERUNNERS
NET PRACTICE
THE CATCH OF THE SEASON





OILING.

_(A Song In and Out of Season.)_


Excuse me, Sweetheart, if I smear,
With wisdom learnt from ancient teachers,
Now winter time once more is here,
This grease upon your lengthy features!
Behaving thus, your loyal friend
No whit encourages deception:
Believe me, Fairest, in the end
This oil will better your complexion.
Fairest, believe!

Did you imagine in the bag
To sleep the sleep of Rip Van Winkle,
