B. - Collaborators FAIRCH1LD SHERMAN - "1 wish I was a little girl 'Cause then I'd have the right To change my name when I got big To something not so light. "For just the other day it was, A man came up to me, And, lookin' at me queerly, asked, 'Your name, what might it be?' "And when I answered 'Fairchild, sir,' And straightened up my figger, Why, then he said, 'Well, did you think I took you for a nigger?' " FOX - "If I should let my native wit Flow free as impulse leads, 'Twould quite unfit my doting friends For any kind of deeds. They'd split their sides with bursts of mirth, Each woman, child and man! And so I never dare to be As funny as I can!" Mr. CORY, a la Milton - "Oh, whence shall I betake myself, Oh, whither hie me to? 1 wander on in endless grief the whole world through, Seeking one spot in fruitless quest, Where vengeful man will not destroy my rest. Sadly I hear at every door the stern word 'hence.' Oh, for what deed of mine is this the recompense ? At Peter's gate I knocked, and turned away in fear- Alas ! he thundered out to me, 'Pass quickly on-don't loiter here.' " HOUSE - "Ich habe nicht the Zeitgeiut! C'est tres, tres malheureuse When professeurs must dodge the winks Of Madchens studieuse! Je dare not marcher pas a pas- Much less to pirouette- L'age des tenebres c'est here! Cette age de la coquette!" |
