THE CRITIC.
- By 'Sir Fretful Plagiary.'
On the wall of Oscar Wilde's bedroom, at 16 Tite-street, London, the following inscription appears:—
Spirit of Beauty, tarry yet awhile,
They are not dead, thine ancient votaries.
Some few there are to whom thy radiant smile,
Is better than a thousand victories.
"Spirit of Beauty, tarry yet awhile; They are not dead, thine ancient votaries; Some few there are to whom thy radiant smile Is better than a thousand victories."
"Spirit of Beauty, tarry yet awhile;They are not dead, thine ancient votaries;Some few there are to whom thy radiant smileIs better than a thousand victories."
I suppose few of us care about the knowledge, but it is worth mentioning, perhaps, that the Marquis of Queensberry is one of the few men in England who may, if he chooses, without contempt, wear his hat and remain with covered head in the presence of the judges. I am not sure that his promising sons are, or will be, entitled to the same privilege.
