Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fables
Scant wisdom dwells in thy grey head Y In this still eddy I will glide And stay a moment by thy side, To show how miserably base And foolish 'tis, in this dull place, To dwell and drearily drag on Thy life with nought to look upon. Why, I have passed a place to-day Than this a thousand times more gay And as I speed I'm sure to find More beauties than I leave behind.
