A Tip to Tenors

GEORGE S. CHAPPELL

With Decorations by Hogarth, Jr.

T HEARD you sing,—dear Golden-throat!

And every note

Set my imprisoned dreams afloat.

Your vocal grace

Brought down the house—and blushes to my face. "Fly, little letter,—fly apace!"

And then I met you,—and the note You wrote

Went straight to protest, in my husband's coat. "Fly, little letter . . . very fly,"

Bringing the house down on my guilty head.

Nor may I now pursue, along Broadway The even tenor of my matinee.
