himself King of Ypres after the first
bombardnent OF that city last No

before court martial, which duly
tried him. found that his efforts in
the cause of order had been good.

Yet it has come to stay fear,
Because it's real antique

The staunch couch where I sought

Bold Cupids stare me in the, face;
The hanging draperies brush my
