THE NEW DOUBLE ACROSTICS во BY A A Y OTHE "All intricate, yet each path plain, to those who know the way; LONDON LOTHIAN & CO. AMEN CORNER PATERNOSTER ROW 268. c. 57. INTRODUCTION. IN bringing these Acrostics into public notice, A. A. Y. ventures to express a hope, that they may afford as much pleasure and satisfaction to others as the "labyrinthine links" edited by K. L., A. E. H., &c., have afforded her. DOUBLE ACROSTICS. 1 WHAT each man and woman is, good or bad: What all women and all men have had. 1. Something quite as light as air. 2. A single letter oft used with "I don't care." 3. My destiny, which well I trust will fare. 4. Belongs to plants and children, foul or fair. 5. Something seldom choice or rare. 6. My sixth no skill nor pains doth spare. 7. My seventh my whole could never bear. 2 L. An island wash'd by an Atlantic ocean. Transpose, and of its charms you'll gain a notion. 1. A king the Israelites had to encounter. 2. A game that's play'd with many a counter. 3. By some consider'd an honourable rencontre. 4. A well-known name in many an English reign. |
