Epigraph

“O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?”

Dedication

TO A NINETEENTH CENTURY GIRL.

Epigraph

A great-grandmother’s bewitching face,
  Looks forth from this olden story,
For Love is a master who laughs at place,
  And scoffs at both Whig and Tory.

Dedication

To-day if he comes, as a conqueror may,
  To a heart untouched by his flame,
Be loyal as she of the olden day,
  That Eighteenth Century dame!
