The Wife Of Brittany

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

TRUTH wed to beauty in an antique tale,
Sweet-voiced like some immortal nightingale,
Trills the clear burden of her passsionate lay,
As fresh, as fair as wonderful to-day
As when the music of her balmy tongue
Ravished the first warm hearts for whom she sung.

Not very far from Lachlan Side

A Year’s New Wish

Laughter

© Edgar Albert Guest

Laughter sort o' settles breakfast better than digestive pills;
Found it, somehow in my travels, cure for every sort of ills;
When the hired help have riled me with their slipshod, careless ways,
An' I'm bilin' mad an' cussin' an' my temper's all ablaze,
If the calf gets me to laughin' while they're teachin' him to feed
Pretty soon I'm feelin' better, 'cause I've found the cure I need.

A Paradox, That The Sick Are In A Better Case Than The Whole

© George Herbert

  You neither groan nor weep,
And think it contrary to Nature's laws
  To want one ounce of sleep,
  Your strong belief
Acquits yourselves, and gives the sick all grief.

Eccentricity

© Washington Allston

 Who next appears thus stalking by his side?
Why that is one who'd sooner die than-ride!
No inch of ground can maps unheard of show
Untrac'd by him, unknown to every toe:
As if intent this punning age to suit,
The globe's circumf'rence meas'ring by the foot.
