Lapsus Calami (Apr 1891)/Time's Revenges

First published in the "Things One Would Rather Have Expressed Differently" section of Lapsus Calami, "Time's Revenges" was dropped from the third edition and never reinstated.

Harm to harm-doers oft recurs;
It happened, in a year or two,
That I broke hers.
