LINES
Spoken by Miss Ada Rehan at the Lyceum Theatre, July 23, 1890, at a performance on behalf of Lady Jenne's Holiday Fund for City Children
BEFORE we part to alien thoughts and aims,
Permit the one brief word the occasion claims;

Perhaps an Epilogue is justified.
Our under-purpose has, in truth, to-day
Commanded most our musings; least the play:
