31. Wit Monday.

[Illustration:

Admiral De Witt.

]

Pray, who is the fellow of infinite fun,

Of whom men declare that his _wit_, like the _sun_,

Shines and sparkles along—that its bright sallies glide

Like a fresh summer river at flow of its _tide_?—

Why, join wit, sun, and tide, and it's perfectly clear

You mean jolly young _Whitsuntide_—Prince of the year!

[Illustration:

MAY—Settling for the Derby—Long odds and long faces.
