BILLIARDS.
Break, break, break, With a miss in balk for me ! And I wish that raj cue could manage A screw off the Red, for three. Oh, well for the downy old cove That he makes such an income by play ! Oh, well for the pool-loving boy That he makes winning hazards all day ! But the rolling game goes on, To the end of the world it will ; But, oh for the touch of a varnished cue. And the click of the balls that are still! Break, break, break, In a way that is hard to see • But the lovely flukes of a day that is dead Will never come back to me.
