THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
When poets sing Of the ancient days,
OF troubadours and roundelays,
And speak Of them with unstinted praise
The question pat arises,
How many miles did troubad0ur
Travel before his feet got sorel
And wasn't he sometimes rather a bore.

Those barons and knights in days Of old
With iron clothes and cloth Of gold,
Were liable, very, to catch cold,
With underwear Of hardware
And though. perhaps, society's cream.
Not one Of them ever had brains TO dream
OF warming the castle moat with steams
Or living on aught but hard fare
May have made the vlctors very content
Dut then the fellows whose cash was spent
And with Ssti ali p1Seii their banners and sEen clothes
Their mantles and feathers. and Flemish hose.
