36 JIOME AMUSEMENTS.

I please the young, I grace the old,
And am at once both hot and cold.
Now meditate and duly scan,
And tell my title if you can.

 

RIDDLE LXXIII.

OF a brave set of brethren I stand at the head,

And, to keep them quite warm, I cram three in a
bed ;

Six of them in prison unfeelingly put,

And three I confine in a mean little hut :

To escape my fell gripe, three reside in the sky ;

And, though strange it may seem, we have all but one
eye:

Our shape is as various as wondrous our use is,

Of science the source, and the soul of the Muses.

 

RIDDLE LXXIV.

WO beaux are Harriet’s constant pride,
For ever dangling at her side ;
An inch their due they take an ell,—
‘The name of Harriet’s beaux pray tell.
