WOMAN and

What TO us is time or space.

What 10 us is time or space.
Hours of absence, days of grace.
AS We rule and reign alone
IN a kingdom of our own?
Love like ours is UP TO date.
Sneers at fortune, conquers Fate,
Makes the loves of early times
Look like three bright, shiny dimes
Couldn't We give cards and spades
10 historic lovers shades
Easily our love can beat
That of Faust and Marguerite
ifcloise and Aberlard
STOPPED to tricks that we'd discard;
orpheus and Eurydice
only knew simple way;
Launcelot and Guinevere
Wondering would our love songs hear,
And a few things We might show
Juliet and Romeo.
Hero we'd give pointers to
Teach Leander how to Woo
cSd43 coach Semiramis,
Trojan Helen teach TO kiss.
You'd teach Dante and Petrarch
Distance Cleopatra's MARK.
oh, the loves of bygone days
Were not up to modern ways.

which was entirely inadequate to ac-
commodate the crowds. Every juris-
