AN EPISODE ON BEACON HILL.

By Thomas Winthrop Hall

You are frowning;

I do n't wonder.

Reading Browning;

Hard as thunder!

Oh, excuse me;

You adore it?

You amuse me;

I abhor it.

Let me see it.

Who has taught you?

Now to me it —

Ah, I've caught you.

It must be hard so

( Hence the frown? )

To read the bard so —

Upside down.
