The marquis proposes to Laura

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Illustration to the poem "The Stalking-Horse" by Arthur J. Munby. The passage illustrated is this:

I saw, when her manner to Fred grew a little too close and confiding,
Though the marquis dropped back to the mother, he eyed the sweet schemer still hard,
And I guessed by the bite of his lip, and his quickened and ominous striding,
He thought, if he was to pull through, it was time to be playing his card.
In short, on the balcony, late, whether dinner had served to embolden
The peer, or the syren had managed some charm in the wine-cup to press,
They two passed a whispering hour, looking down on the river-reach golden,
While the dowager prisoned our friend over politics, poems, and dress.
.   .   .   .   .   .   .   .
I thought, 'My poor Freddy, it's plain' (as I took him to town in my brougham),
'They've made a fair bag of my lord, and a stalking-horse simply, of you.'
