Excerpt from Two Fancies and Other Poems
It is with no wish to forestall just criticism, but in simple justice to myself, that I remark that, although the author of these poems has just attained to the ripe age of five and twenty, many of them have been written in earliest youth.
In justice to Monte Carlo, who has already enough sins on her pretty shoulders, I may mention that the unfortunate incident described did not take place there, but that the rash youth ruined himself at cards, not dice. For obvious reasons I have been obliged to change the scene.
