Celestial Navigation Net - Pole Shift Survival Information

July
To her most eccentric conduct my best chapter's been devoted?
"Had you but read what I have said on her merits and demerits
In Chapter Four, not for one hour would you maintain your spirits;
Could I but show you Wrinkles your appearance would cease,
You'd for ever hide your 'bloomin' cheek,' for ever hold your peace."
"Of Wrinkles, sir," replied the Moon, "we've several copies here;
But the chapter headed Lunars is the one we hold most dear.
With equal care we've read them both; compared our notes and reckoned.
No mortal who believed the first could understand the second.
"Tis just about twelve months ago, I said to some inquirers,
'You had no power to banish me, I still had some admirers.'
Adieu! dear boy. I'm off. Good night. To Coventry? No! Never!
Let 'Wrinkles' come, Chronometers go, but I go on for ever."
