A fragment from an 19th century newspaper featuring tangled verses and snippets about slavery, Valentine legends, and literary parodies. It mixes poems, song lines, and a jokey editorial tone, including references to St Valentine lore and a garbled ballad about the American Union.
A mixed piece of antiquarian verse and an essay by Timothy Titcomb. The poem ponders a macabre nursery rhyme unknown origins and possible cats in a well. Titcomb then argues young women should value modest dress over vanity, insisting beauty is divine but not the measure of worth.
