Albany de Grenier Fonblanque, Once a Week, Series 1, Volume III… (1860)
“ He’s very fond of Charlie, ah! and so He stay’d till last at Charlie’s sister’s ball. You danced eight times together-am I right “He’s such a perfect waltzer”—nothing more? You met a week ago this very night, And I have—known you all your lifetime o’er! Forgive me that I played the list’ner, dear, And heard him win your love, amongst your flowers; You had forgotten I was prisoned here, A poor lone cripple all these festive hours. He’s very winsome, honest-eyed, and tall, The cross for valour’s roll contains his story. ”
