'When we say a "shed" we do not mean the conservatory kind of building which, according to the old song, Love frequented when a young man.' The song referred to is by T. Moore. Young love lived once in a humble shed, Where roses breathing, And woodbines wreathing, Around the lattice their tendrils spread, As wild and sweet as the life he led. It is one of the songs in _M.P., or The Blue-Stocking_, a comic opera in three acts.
