DON RUIN.

A Ballad of 20th Century Chins.

Don Ruin came to China, by the graco

of God trow,

But how he camo I know not, for the

deities allow

Such beings and immortals to perform

their Journeys hence

As miracles or wonderments of little

consequence,

Perchance it was that second class he

travelled all the way On some dan steamer from the land

where clever people say That those who settle in the East are

rather necromantic-

A silly sort of statement which I

think's a bit pedantic.

Don Ruin must have had a strain of

magic in his blood.

For he could see the poetry within

the lump of mud, And even ugly women, when they

longed for his embrace, Began to paint and powder and to

foam in feckled låco.

Don Ruin landed unannounced upon

the shores of Tong Without a signi of who he was or

where he did belong, And though he was a nobleman he

soon forgot all that And went about the Prayn in a bat

tered bowler hat.

The heat was very trying on the

sultry Summer "daja And Run thought the misty hills were

better than the blaze;

Sa modestly he booked a room that

looked to north and cast,

And settled down to social life with

trousers neatly creased.
