Excerpt from Minora Carmina: Trivial Verses
Up for the Season.
"Up for the Season." Ah me, what a magic,
Small though the words, can be hidden therein!
Ring up the curtain! Or comic or tragic
Be the finale, the play must begin.
Pa may be surly, and swear that it's early
Comfort and covert-side both to forsake;
Ma, without warning, will whisper one morning
News of a mansion she's settled to take.
"Up for the Season." The Duke and the Duchess
Splendour must add to the general glare;
Brown, Smith, and Robinson also, (for such is
Force of the fashion) are bound to be there.
Credit with Gunter will cost you a hunter -
Two it may be - ere the fall of the year;
