SWELLS OF OCEAN.

He, the bearded man from Harvard;

She, the maiden false and fair.

And the student murmurs something

So extremely to her taste,

That a sound of kissing follows,

Advertisement

And his hand steals round her waist.

From a swathed-up mummy near them

Comes a deep and hollow groan,

As it rises, turns, and plunges

In the white and seething foam.

'This an old and truthful adage,

"Fellow-tradesmen can't agree."

Swells of ocean play the mischief

With the swells who go to sea.
