Limerick:There was a Young Lady of Wales

by Edward Lear

Edward Lear

There was a Young Lady of Wales,
Who caught a large fish without scales;
When she lifted her hook
She exclaimed, 'Only look!'
That ecstatic Young Lady of Wales.

    The Old
    by John Vance Cheney
    Must be God's warders hearken every sigh, Draw close and lovingly around the old; The glories on the going summer lie, On the spent sun attend the hosts in gold.
