IF YOU LOVE THE TALE - (To the Misses Drury.) - "MAIDENS! if you love the tale, If you love the Snark, Need I urge you, spread the sail, Now, while freshly blows the gale, In your ocean-barque! - "English Maidens love renown, Enterprise, and fuss!" Laughingly those Maidens frown; Laughingly, with eyes cast down; And they answer thus: - "English Maidens fear to roam. Much we dread the dark; Much we dread what ills might come, If we left our English home, Even for a Snark!" - Apr. 6, 1876. {ACROSTIC_MAIDENS_IF_YOU_LOVE_THE_TALE ^line 20} - - THE END
