THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER.

And genial Edward Doubleday 
Erased the stamp of care, 
And of his classic episodes 
Contributed a share. 
And Yarrell stern, but with a heart 
With finest fibres strung, 
You liked him when you heard him speak, 
You loved him when he sung. 
All these are gone, yet oh! blest shades! 
Each loved and lovely spot 
You used to tread, still witness bears 
That you are noisforgot. 
“ Breakfast at half-past nine” the card 
As usual says in vain, 
Ten always strikes before the guests 
That welcome meal obtain. 
The table cleared, the friends go out; 
The woods, the lanes, the fields, 
The banks, the orchards, all are searched, 
And each its insects yields. 
Some go a-sliooting; rifle shots, 
And jokes ring through the park, 
And long-bow shooters try their skill, 
And often miss their mark. 
The dinner hour draws near, aud each 
Lifts up his nose from far, 
And smells the fragrant viands which 
Are ready at the bar. 
They hasten in and take their place 
Around the festive board, 
Where all that’s good for hungry men 
In vast profusion’s stored. 
The loving cup goes round, and song 
And wit succeed each other, 
And every one there present feels 
That every man’s his brother. 
How fast and furious grew the fun, 
Those only know who there 
Helped on the sport; enough to say 
That Newman filled the chair. 
At length the fading light reminds 
’Tis time to go away, 
And one and all regret the end 
Of one more Birch Wood Day.
