WADE
Jimmy wants a situation as nursery governess. In the North a bright star rises Charlie, hasten to adore, Let the mud not damp thine ardour, She will love thee never more. As a lighted candle shews through a window, so does Tom's face reflect the fire within. Quench it, old boy, or it will quench you. When Johnny's yacht comes sailing With tide and wind both fair, That modest youth's still wailing For castles in the air.
