Cellars in Cbeapsicle then would not be 
cheap ; 
Coal-holes be letting at a fabulous 
figure ; 
And many a “ bull’s eye” scare the dun- 
geon deep, 
Which late on Dartford Heath * pro- 
voked the trigger. 
But ah ! vain hope! How Iris maybe 
ta’en 
My muse has sung; f but thou, Fuli- 
ginaria, 
Not like her throned in ether, flaunting 
vain, 
Must “ blush unseen ” in vault or 
dusty “ area.”

AN ENTOMOLOGIST'S DREAM. 
I dreamt one night, as I was sleeping, 
Lying upon my bed, 
That hornets, butterflies and beetles, 
Were buzzing round my head ; 
That they had come to ask their rights, 
Whom I had once impaled on spikes. 
The horrid troop flew round my head, 
Each armed with a shining pin, 
And screamed to one another 
To thrust it deeply in ; 
“ For he,” they said, “ us once did slay, 
Now, now, has come the vengeance day !” 
Each brandishing aloft his spear, 
Came cruelly rushing on ; 
Some buzzed around my aching head, 
Some leaped the bed upon ; 
One deeply drove his spear in me, 
I woke, and found it was a — flea !
