While the Dominic was one day leisure

darkies approached him; one Of them re
marked to the other, "That's him now; /
know him, forI've seen him often" "Well,
speak to him, then" says the other" "No,
Pete, you speak to him."
Noticing that they wished to hold some
intercourse with him, the Dominic turned
round and said:
"Did you wish to speak with me?"

Let us no longer lingcr here,

And from her fold retreat.
Unfurl your banners 10 the breeze,
For freedom strikc-for peace
