The story that you spread Was all too true; The Waspish things you said Were just her due. But did you play the game? And was there need To blazon forth the shame Of her misdeed? We might have saved her soul, Had yours been higher, Had you not claimed the role Of public" erier. Had you but reined your tongue About the wrong; We might today have sung A triumph song. But through your dastard work She now has passed Into the deeper murk That chokes at last. The love by which at first We spanned the breach Was wrecked by your accurst Envenomed speech. God pity you when you Hereafter find He asks, not Was it true? But Was it kind? --Kennedy Williamson, in "The British Weekly."

The great gods in their merriment, Made man a naked thing, For all the winds of discontent, And thorns of love to sting. They made him as a chord to thrill, Vibrant to joy or pain; They made him as a reed, whose will, Is bent by any rain. They made him as a glass revealed Fér every mood to dim, Then gave him laughter as a shield Between thé world and him. And gave him robe of words to hide The naked soul, afraid, And cloak of jests, that none beside, Might know the man they made. So hidden midst our kind we press, That scarce the great gods know Who wears the mask of happiness Upon the face of woe. -- Salt was so rare in the old Roman days, that soldiers received a small ENA AAA em an, HOUSE now made.
