* * * * Alas, Belinda, flies your fickle swain

'With Araminta in the Kingston train !

Kingston, not Maidenhead, James Laver sings, Where naughty innocents find amorous wings.

John, Alfred, Alastair and Ferdinand Each in love's antechamber takes his stand.

If your heart, reader, Araminta pricks, Love's Progress costs you only four-and-six ; Wide margins lend a Paphian seemliness To this chaste offspring of the Nonesuch Press.
