Here is the poem that appears on the title page of early copies of Georgette Heyer's Thses Old Shades:

i

"…… This Age I grant (and grant with pride),

Is varied, rich, eventful:

But if you touch its weaker side,

Deplorably resentful.

Belaud it, and it takes your praise

With air of calm conviction:

Condemn it, and at once you raise

A storm of contradiction.

Whereas with these old shades of mine,

Their ways and dress delight me;

And should I trip by word or line,

They cannot well indict me……"
