THE ORIGIN OF KNITTINGWhen Venus, to her bower of bliss,

The God of Love invited,

Divinest, sweetest ecstacies

Within her bosom lighted.

Arcadian groves more beauteous seemed,

Each lovely spot grew fairer;

New brightness from each blossom beamed,

Some fresh delight to bear her.

And every wanton zephyr, while

Among her ringlets straying,

Called up a most celestial smile,

As if some mischief saying!

Could Beauty, blest by Love, desire

A cup more brimmed by Pleasure?

Ah! Yes; e’en Goddesses will tire

Of having too much leisure!

She called to Cupid—and he came,

Half smiling, half unwilling!—The fitful youth seemed scarce the same,

His very breath was chilling.

“What ails thee?” then the goddess asked;

“So young, and yet so fickle?

You were not too severely tasked;

But I’ve a rod in pickle!”

Cast on 30 stitches to a pattern, and 4 for the two edges, also 1 extra to keep the pattern

uniform, this last one is printed in Italics throughout the receipt, and is only worked once in each

are edge stitches, and, like the stitch in Italic, are not to be noticed while repeating the pattern.
