There 's but the name to alter, And Love, --that starves, --must knock at every portal, Inform&pOMpirii, We are but mortal l THE MISOGYNIST. "Ilttait tatjeune homme dun tien tiaupassl." WHEN first he sought our haunts, he wora His locks in Hamlet-style; His brow with thought was "sicklied o'er,"--We rarely saw him smile; And, e'en when none were looking on, His air was always woe-begone.
