Green Bays. Verses and Parodies by Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch
page 14 of 55 (25%)
Delve it one furlong fro' the kidney bean-sticks,
Where I may dream she's goin' on precisely
As she was used to.'

Hardly died Bill when, fro' the Lady Jane's grave,
Crept to his white death-bed a lovely pumpkin:
Climb'd the house wall and over-arched his head wi'
Billowy verdure.

Simple this tale!--but delicately perfumed
As the sweet roadside honeysuckle. That's why,
Difficult though its metre was to tackle,
I'm glad I wrote it.



A TRIOLET.

To commemorate the virtue of Homoeopathy in restoring one apparently
drowned.

Love, that in a tear was drown'd,
Lives revived by a tear.
Stella heard them mourn around
Love that in a tear was drown'd,
Came and coax'd his dripping swound,
Wept '_The fault was mine, my dear!_'
Love, that in a tear was drown'd,
Lives, revived by a tear.
