THE NEW AND THE OLD.

Oh, maiden of ancient romances.
So modest and stately and fair,
Knowing naught of the power of your
glanceS,
OF your loveliness all unaware,
And full of fine words like poet,
OF tears as of water the sea,
OF love Out you don't seem TO know it,
And innocent glee;
seek you in Smiths and in Nudes,
But ever l seek you in vain;
Though many heroine wooed is
And won, it is not in your strain.
And novelette, now is your medium,
Replacing the folio of yore,
Your sentiments voted a tedium,
Your virtue a bore.
Clarissa, Pamela replendent
In virtue and all of your kin,
Do you blush for your modern descendant,
For Dodo, the Aster, the Twin?
Do you ask of what genius this maid is.
(Whether maiden or man do you know0
In that ultimate region of Hades,
Where dead heroines go.
Yet you were so hemmed and so girt in,
Oh, maid of the past, as we think?
Had you never the pleasure of flirting?
Did that maidenly eye never wink?
Were your feelings forever the StoleS
They seem; did you always preserve
Your fine words, or when tired of heroics,
To slang did you swerve?
We hear you were never exponent
OF theories, a novelist's X,
Your sweet lips We're never resonant
With views on law, marriage and sex.
You We're dainty as China of Dresden,
You were dedestaled far from all vice,
Oh maiden, immured and compressed in
A strait Paradise.
At times when the fair but pedantic
New woman proves rather a bore,
More logical she than romantic,
Too prosy by far to adore
We sigh for that heroine less clever,
That light o er old folios cast,
Though we know you have left US for
ever,
Oh maid Of the past.
