 | 'Twixt Kiss and Lip or Under the Sword. By the author of "Women Must Weep," [i.e. F. W. O. Ward] Third edition |  |
WILFRID BLUNT.
The paladins of old went south and north,Despising prudence and the purse,
But our crusader dares not venture forth,
Unless he has with him his nurse;
No doubt he fights, not always though by day
And takes good care his vessel floats—
Whoever sinks—and dearly loves to play
At hero, behind petticoats.
