MASKERS.

Hope, the great explorer; Love whom none can bind, Touth that looks before her, Age that looks behind, Joy with brow like Summer’s, Care with wintry pate, Maskers are and mummers At Life’s gate. Pow’r with narrow forehead. Wealth with niggard palm, Wisdom old. whose hoar head Vaunts a barren calm; Haughty overcomers. In their pomp and state; Maskers all and mummers At Death’s gate! -Wmiam Batson.
