NATHAN DRAKE, M.D.

AUTHOR OF LITERARY HOURS,

OF ESSAYS ON PERIODICAL LITERATURE, OF SHAKSPEARE
AND HIS TIMES, OF WINTER NIGHTS, AND
EVENINGS IN AUTUMN.

Come, sweetest SUMMER!

And o'er old AVON's magic edge,

Whence SHAKSPEARE cull'd the spiky sedge,

All playful yet, in years unripe,

To frame a shrill and simple pipe,

O Goddess, guide my pilgrim feet!
