has thee by the hip,And careless grows, the prize begins to slip ; Till when quite gone no feat again can lure. And if once lost, the loser, doubly drear. Groans neath his loss and groaning ))roves thee dear. 46 soxxj:ts axb love songs. TO MY MISTRESS EYE BROW. With all due thanks to Shakespeare for suggesting a subject.This sonnet is an acrostic to the lady in whose honor it iswritten.

EAETH IMPRISONED BY WINTER. Among this race, so introduced, there lived A young and beautiful princess named Earth ; And this lovely lady, tradition says, Was once imprisoned by one called Winter. AVinter, although old and hoary-headed. Was a tyrant cold as he was cruel; And Earth was bound hand and foot before him Because, forsooth, she had shunned his approach 50 SONNETS AND LOVE SONGS. And had scorned his impotent advances.But happily in all
