There are pretty conceits in the following
lines which would do no discredt to modern
poetry, though they date back to 1593-au-
thor unknown.
1 woulde that I were
A voiceless sigh,
Floating thro' ayre;
Unperceived would steal DER thy cheeke
of downe,
And kiss thy soft lips, unchecked by
frowne.
I would that l were
dying tone,
To dwell on thine care,
Though the music were gone;
l would charm thy hearte with my latest
breathe,
And yield thee pleasure cen in my death.
Iwould might pass from this living tombe
Into the violets sweetest perfume,
On the wings of the morning to thee Iwould
fly,
And ming1e my soul with thy sweetest sigh
My heart is bounde
With vewless chayne,
/ see no wounde,
But l feel its payne.
Break my prison and set me free;
bondage, tho sweet has no charm for me;
Yet now even in fetters my fond heart will
dwelle,
Since thy shadow floats DER it and hallows
my celle.

By "DIoGENEs."
-ro shave. or not to shave the question is,
Whether 'tis better on the human phlz,
To let accumulation of our hair
Cover the chus and lips which now ara bare;
Or to continue still to scrape away
The hirsute ornament from day to day
TO lather, shave, perchance 10 cash the lace
Ay, there's the rub for in this latter case
What mis'ry's ours! 'Tis this must give US pause
And make us rather lot alone our laws'
Than by continuance in the baro,rous use
Cu, scratch. and lacerate them like the deuce
For If it actually were the case,
That Nature never meant the human faee
TO be so teaSed and tortured as 1t is
If so, | say. why then what business
Have mortals virtually to cry out
That Nature knew not what she was ABOUT
WHY, since the beard was evidently meant
To grow, should men be seemingly intent
On trying to prove Nature was dunce'
And did not know her trade2 why mol al once
Pluck out the eyebrows aud extract the nallS,
And shave the heads Of females and OF males
Strange tits that men should worship lashiCn' SO
As to be willing thus to undergo
The pains of shaving. rather than permit
NIoustache and beard TO grow as they think Mt.
How singular. that men should still dellght
In torturng their faces when they might
Themselves their comfort, ease and health OBTAIN
BY vowing they will never shave again;
But its the dread Of ridicule aud scorn
Makes the foul fashion easy to be borne.
Thus custom of us all doth towards make;
Aud for this savage custom, then. we take
The trouble and the pains our chins to NOW,
Because it is the fashion to do so.
Dut thuS nur chinS will SDOn no more. nope,
BE lathercd Ger with the pale suds OF soap :,
Soon shall moustache and beard once more ON al
Our chins wag merrily, in street and nail!
