CHARADES. 103

’Tis a part and a whole which you'll find
May be used in the forming a dress.

Tf indolence point at delay,
To my whole I would have you apply;
°T will prove that old Time will not stay,
But mows with his scythe till we die.

 

CHARADE XXII.

OME say my first is nothing, but I know
It has a meaning from the lips of woe;
My second you may take wide as you will,
O’er wilderness and garden, dale and hill;
The planets take it, as they roll on high,
And wand’ring comets, whirling through the sky.
No planet is my whole, although a sphere,
In shape resembling this our world, I bear.

 

CHARADE XXIII.

Y first is a lie; my second is a lie: my whole is the
emblem of innocence.
