Quam quæ severis ludicra jungere
Novit, fatigatamque nugis
Utilibus recreare mentem."

the Illustrator of

"The Ballad of Beau Brocade,"

and

"The Story of Rosina":—

to

HUGH THOMSON, these pages are inscribed by

his attached Friend

AUSTIN DOBSON.

"Let Envy crave, and Avarice save;
Let Folly ride her circuit;

I hold that on this side the grave.
To find one's vein and work it,

To keep one's wants both fit and few
To cringe to no condition,

To count a candid friend or two -
May bound a man's ambition."

MAY, 1901.
