"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?"
1897
TO A NINETEENTH CENTURY GIRL.
A great-grandmother's bewitching face, Looks forth from this olden story, For Love is a master who laughs at place, And scoffs at both Whig and Tory. To-day if he comes, as a conqueror may, To a heart untouched by his flame, Be loyal as she of the olden day, That Eighteenth Century dame!
