A Reminiscence

Written to be read at the Banquet given Miss Anthony on her 70th birthday

1 When first I met the lady The hero of this feast Twas on a certain May day Gone two score years at least

2 Feeling of the tribe described as Lilliputain I sought her office to subscribe for the 'Revolution'.

3 No sight of me she ever had But she had made such stir That all had heard - and I must add Had heard a sight of her.

7 And from that hour has ever sailed To make me feel more rich Yet [hers?] to term that craft I've failed Craft or love Witchcraft which?
