Sonnets Of The Greek Mythology, No.2.

Sonnets of the Greek Mythology , no . 2 .

TO MNEMOSYNE . GODDESS of memory ! sweet Mnemosyne , FLU thou the chasms o £ my wandering brain ; Impart to rno that gay exuberancy Which banisheth rebellious thoughts of pain .

Then shall my tongue as tho' unloosed by wine Break forth from out the bonds that held it fast , And , ' stead of dark oblivions of the past Shall come melodious utterances divine . Unwearied from the pastureland of joy .

Then shall my fingers string the mellow lyre , And nought shall come to injure or destroy Its fluttering pinions , as , on wings of fire , Trembling with ecstasy , it swiftly flies , To lands immortal where it never dies . CHAS . F . FOESHAW , M . A . Bradford .

Bro. Rudyard Kipling.

Bro . Rudyard Kipling .

rf"lHE "Academy" publishes the following amusing poem , entitled I "Brother Joo , " which has been inspired by the fact that Eudyard Kipling has joined an Edinburgh Lodge , and is fraternally styled "Brother Joe " : — I chanced to be at Eottingdean upon a little trip ; I met a fellow Mason there , and gave the man the grip , " What ho , " I said "my Rudyardl " but his look was cold as snow . " My name , you ought to understand , " he said , " is Brother Joe . "

Oh , it's Budyard this , and Kipling that , with poems , tales and such , And Rudyard Kipling is a name that can't be known too much ! Oh , it ' s Budyard this , and Kipling that , with any writing dodge , But it's Brother Joseph Kipling when he joins a blooming Lodge 1 I went into a Library to get a book to read ; The man behind the counter asked , " What is it , Sir , you need ? " " I want , " I said , " the latest thing that Joseph Ki pling ' s done . " " Go on , " he said , " you're having me . Joe Kip ! There isn't one . "

Oh , it's Brother Joe , and Joseph , when insignia are out , And knives and forks are busy , and the bottle goes about , It's " Brother Joe from India" where ' er the Masons throng , But it ' s Rudyard Kipling only when he writes a blooming song !
