180 : JUDGE EASTER. LONG farewell to the cloth called “* sack,” To ashes and fasting and prayer, alack ; To service and chant and yawning ; For what dainty visions in bonnet and gown, And lips that smile as if never a frown Mad marred their beauty, will storm the town With the light of the Easter morning ! While the belis that peal so loud and deep Wake Mephistopheles out of the sleep ‘That for forty days has claimed him, And his smiling friends taxe his hand again, ‘The maids and the matrons, youths and men, ‘As warmly as though there was no time when They had neither known nor named him. For all of the churches, **low” and ** high,” Have done their part, and it’s now good-bye To the missal and hymn and sermén, For forty days have they had their place, And society, filled with the Lenten grace, Is turning now with a smiling face To the theatre, ball and german. And surely the comfort is great to some To feel that by simply abstaining from “ The world, the flesh and the devil * For forty days, they have all the year Except that forty, without a fear, To enjoy themselves till they leave this sphere, In a frolic of fun and revel.
