Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 413
ovincial tongue ? Close runs the royal rivalry;But gallant knights and cour-tiers allTheir homage pay on bendedknee,To her who wins the silverball. ■PIH Then ladies, splendid in array, Where noble champions crossed the netDid not disdain to watch the play, Or wear their tresses en raquette. And… … Faint in our ears, the plaudit rings,Of old so sweet; yet still we knowThe king of games, the game of kings,Once had its queen — the fair Margot!
