"LET ME NOT MUCH COM PLAIN."

me mot much complain ol life, in age, life is not faulty, wife is vrell enough, Var those who lovl their daily round of doing, Ipr ' And take things rounded, never in the rough, Twining from day to day the same old page, And their old knowledge ever more renewing I have known many such: through life they went "With moderate use of moderate heritage, ffining and spending, saving as they spent. These are wise men, though never conuted sage; They looked for li-tle, easy men to please; Alt I, more deeply drunk of life s full cup. Feel, as my lips come nearer to the lees, I dived for pearls, and brought but pebbles up. —Thomas W. Parsons, in the Century.
