Do you smile at Me. fair lady,
Curve for me those lips of red?
Do you smile for other lovers
Long since numbered with the dead?
Were you false or were you faithful,
Were you loving, tender, true?
Answer me. bewitching lady,
would know the truth from you!
Do your eyes behold the present
See the love that gives and takes
See the dreams Of other lovers.
See the hearts that falseness breaks?
Do you scorn the life Of mortals-
You who never weep, but smile!
Smile unchanging through the ages
To you. may be, brief while.
Did fond lovers hold your white hand
While you smiled their love away!
Did you sit in moonlit gardens
Where the splashing fountains play?
Or from out a stately palace
Did you look across the sea-
Did you dream of other lovers,
Did you ever dream Of me!
When look at you and question:
Still you smile and look away.
In your face the artists magic
That shall hold the world for ayeI
No one can thy secret fathom-
Did you live or did you not?
All the ages cannot answer
or such mystery are you wrought.

"Now comes the assertion" says the
Bath Times, that the conditions OF
navigation at Gurnet bridge, instead OF
being improved by the additional
opening of 40 feet in the causeway
which has recently been completed
are actually worse than before. The
reduction of the current if any is so
small as to be imperceptible; while the
current through the new opening,
meeting that through the old at an
angle, makes the water so rough that
it is more dangerous than before. All
of which proves again the futility OF
half measures"
