"Gentle, modest little flower,
Love me but for half an hour,
Sentences so fiercely flaming
I should always be exclaiming
Shed upon me while I sing!
Love me, oh, thou fairy thing!"
You'd perpetually hear,
But I do not, PHOEBE dear.
Baines Carew, Gentleman
Of all the good attorneys who
But few could equal BAINES CAREW
From client.html">client A or client B,
He'd scarce have strength to take his fee.

With brutal conduct drives me mad."

"Domestic bliss has proved my bane,--
My wife (in other matters sane)
And stand upon a rounded stick,
To every one as 'Pretty Dick'!"
"Oh, dear," said weeping BAINES CAREW,
"I'm grieved," said BAGG, "at paining you--
My gruesome sorrows I'll impart"--
And steel my sympathetic heart."
"She makes me perch upon a tree,
And threatens to exhibit me
(Said BAINES), "I don't know what to do."
"Oh, not at all," said BAINES CAREW.
"She makes me fire a gun," said BAGG;
