Not illustrated. 1882 Excerpt: ...horseless man! L'AMOUREUX. Who preaches one heart is for one, Must know, alas, his own heart small. No lack of beauties sees the sun: My heart is large enough for all. Threescore and ten the years of men--The years of women are as many, But lovely ladies have, I ken, A scant thrice five--few more, if any. Oh! bring me in her loveliest prime, Her sweetest years, each maiden fair: The true heart groweth every time, A new love's added to its care. A PARADOX.

And she answered, keeping her gaze afar Most like a star, A hope that shall give my heart its ease.'

Still she gazed o'er the tideless blue, Paler day by day. Over the waves a good ship drew: Stepped from the gunwale that lover true Still she looked far away. He stood before her; He spoke her name.
