Poetry. Song.— After Love-Lace.
An- -" Stone wall* do not a prison make."— Cor, 11 Loneiacs, 1012. Gum haira do not a prophet make, N >r wrinkled brow a sage ; TfioiiKh innocence bb such may take Thece si«ns upon life's stage. S >rm think they are in " wrinkles" wise, And some a profit find In hair— but then it u in dyes, And brnidn to pin behind 1 Though flowing locks will drop away, The flowing cup* remain. Thfi dropa they hold will go, but they Can still be filled again. And 'ti* a " wrinkle" age ha* taught, That clay rnuit ne'er bo dry, L"«t into crnrabliog du*t 'tis brought. So, fill the tankard high !
C. 11. Waring, in HomW Annual.
