THE SUBTERFUGE.

"I vow, my dear Strephon," said Chloe one day,

While Damon lay hid in the bower,

"Yon sun that now gazes shall see a kiss given

To no one but thee from this hour."

Poor Damon upbraided the fair.

"Hush! blockhead," said Chloe, "the sun's now on high,

But d'ye think it will always be there?"
