I couldn't mean you,"

"Thanks! thanks! To bear malice,"

EPIGRAMS.

1.--THE CAUSE.

Lisette has lost her wanton wiles--
What secret care consumes her youth,
And circumscribes her smiles?--

Fitzsmall, who drinks with knights and lords,
To steal a share of notoriety,
Will tell you, in important words,
He _mixes_ in the best society.

at the Haymarket.
