What Admin Knew Not.

What Adam Knew Not.
The many things that Adam missed are he
enumerated
Adam never knew what twas to be a boy
10 Wheedle pennies from doting sire, s
With which to barter for some pleasing toy
Or calm the rising ola strong desire.
To suck an orange Nor did he
Fer east the shuttlecock 10 battledore
Nor were his trowsers ever out at knee,
From playing marbles on the kitchen floor.
lie never skated Ger the frozen rill,
When winters covering Der the earth was sprea
Nor glided down the slippery hill,
With pretty girls upon his trusty sled.
He never swung upon his fathers gate
Or slept in sunshine on the cellar door,
Nor roasted chestnuts at the kitchen CRATE,
Nor spun his humming-toP upon the hoor.
lie ne er amused himself with rows of bricks,
So set ifone fall all come down;
Nor gazed delighted at the funny tricks
0fharlequin or travelling circus clown.
By gradual growth he never reached the age
When cruel Cupid first nvokes his art
And stamps loves lesson page by page,
On the glowing tablets OF youngings heart.
H. never wandered forth on moonlight nights,
With her he loved above all earthly things,
Nor tried TO mount odd Pindar's rocky heights,
Because he fanced love had lent him wings.
lie never trpped it Ger the ballroom floor,
Where love and music intertwine the charms,
Nor wandered listless by the sandy shore,
Debarred the pleasures OF his lady's arms.
For Adam, so, at least, It's said,
BY many an ancient and modern sage
Before moment Of his life had He'd,
Was fully thirty years Of aye.
