BLESSED BE NOTHING
BY Lucy LARcoN.
Nay, wealthy brother
Lend me no pity because am poor.
Dray horses, staggering loaded till dark,
Rather should pity the lightsoaring lark
Borrow you rather, to keep in your track.
Hand. of Brareus, Hercules back
Keen eyes Of Argus, and Midas grave ears;
l. with two hands and a heart void Of fears
Labor the one gift Of Life to secure
Blessed be Nothing
Surfeitcd bsothcr,
Last night you toasted, then slept upon down,
Dreaming such dreams as were better untold.
When the grim nightmare but loosoued his hold
Discounts and dividends raped or your head
Care, the beakcd yulturc with claw footed tread,
Stalking round steathily, gnawed at your breast
Maize was my supper, straw bed my rest,
SAUNDERS like mine, buys no king for his crown.
Blessed be Nothing
SelEprisoned brother,
Pass in your crystal and velvet car borne
With your gay household Of half breathing dolls,
Pratdng o: operas bonnets and balls
So whrl you on, with prone wrinkled brow
While the brown clods leaping under my plough,
careless whistler hear Mcrrimac glide
See old Monaduoc his cloud, brushed aside,
Nodding to me through the blue, misty morn.
Blessed be Nothing
Mauaclei brother
Never again do You hoye 10 DO free,
Manhood within you is shrunken with shame
In hiking the thoughts Of client. name
THOUGHTS of your customers, party, or town;
shackIed aud bent to all thoughts-but your own.
Senate or White House too poorly would pay
Bartered thus for my birthright, to say
Nothing bat duty and love fetter me
Blessed be Nothing
Idol bouni brother,
Many a god sees you bow al his SHRINE
Leaden eyed Mammon, bcdizoned with charms
Fashion tho pitiless Moloch whose arms
Stids and scorch YOU at in their fold
Never q cIoui edged with silver or gold
Hangs up is curtain twixt me and the ono
