MOSES AND AARON IN SOCIETY.

(With apologias to the ussiligisous scderwoott.)
Says Moses to Aaron, " How wonderful is Spring
NYii blossoms (and bronchitis) come, and birds (bards
say
_so) sing.
Won't not for wind, and frost, and rime,
Surrey might bloom like Sharon.
Oh, is not Spring • splendid time r
For doctors,—yes, says Aaron.
Flays Aaron to Moms, " Your Spring's • dreadful do.
Noses, not ruses, blossom red, and tips, not Aim, are
blue.

The ancient time of roses
The bard who raves of Spring's • fool--"
" An April Fool," says Noma
Says Moses to Aaron, "This weather makes one tart:
81nos Nature's getting quite a sell, we must fall back on

Art. .
The first of May may bring no run,
To shine chill Vanity Fair on;
But ILA. Art may yield some fun."
" Ah !Solomon Hart I" says Aaron.
Says Aaron to Moses, " Nausicsa, no doubt,
lAke last years ' Road to Ruin; will by crowds be rinsed
about ;
But of the throngs who crush to see
Known belies in classic poses

"Say one per cent," says Moeda
Rays Moses to Aaron, " Should s Canova ribs
To sculp Society.Beautiee' forms, and gladden 'Arry's eyes,
A is Borghese, do you think
The half-robed dames cads stare on
Would from Godiva's trial shrink I"
" They've too much pluck," says Aaron.

Rays Aaron to Moses, "This Crutch and Toothpick erase
Must tickle the observant mind which watches lesbians
ways.
It proves with what an iron hand
Folly its yoke imposes;
Or shanie would urge the idiot-band--.."
" To cut their sticks," says 1101141.
Says Moses to Aaron." VIP Sourish Satire's whips,
But sight of this absurd brigade should shut male censors'
lips.
'Twill tax the sex whom modes moat rule,
And witlings hardly hear on,
This dandy folly to outfool
" They'll try their best," says Aaron.
Says Aaron to Moses, 'The caiusa of Burleson*
Fast supersedes the worship of the paronate-pktorisese.
Stage plots at. now the merest pegs
For puns and erre poor,
The Drama seems on its last legs
" Which wear pink tights," says Moses.
Says Moses, "If all therworld's a stage
Buffoon now takes the leading part, and earns the highest
err
Polichinelle pays passing well,
Clowns prosperously fare on;
Who plays before the foolish s well ---"
" Must play the fool' says Aaron.
Says Aaron to Moses, "Th. Novelist and Bard
In the fast race of pruriency now run each other hard
At painting vice in colours sweet,
. Its raptures and its roses,
Ladies and lyrists now compete"
"11l back the wax," rys Moses.
Says Mors to Aaron, "Sweet Swinburna's trust-robed

song
Than Zola's cynic nudity less fascinate" the throng.
The Muse of Realism flaunts,—
Nor flowers nor jewels rare on,—
In Swelldom's eels Snobdom's haunts —"
"Extremes do meet," says Aaron.
Say" Aaron to Moses, " How fine a thing is Sport I
It brings so stessely insreffffeet the cad-world and the
Court
Such solidarity proves the reign
Of feudalism doss.;
Mankind must soon be one again---"
" By'levelling gisins,' "says Moses.
Says Moses to Aston, "Twould be • curious thing
If whet Religion failed in were effected by the Ring.
Men now with Mors a match would maks,
Or 'Tommy-Dodd ' with Charon,
With Satan punt their lode the stab."—
"That'. playing low," say' Aaron.
Says Aaron to Moses, 'To play the Censor's part
