Inimitable joy! To sit at early dawn, Noontide or evening aweet—to idly sit Drawing new inspirations with each breath In curling ' maths of dainty blue-grey smoke, And build' such Spanish castles in the air Ne'er doubting in that pleasing frame of mind Complete fulfilment of each idle dream. Here then is bliss; not surely in stern facts In fancy rather, where we all may rove Enlist then to your aid an " Indian Chief" For none can give enchantment like to thia, ''To gild refined gold, to paint the lily , _ To throw aperfutne on the violet To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with feeble words To try and tell the splendour of the Waterbury Watch Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.'* • *
