Folks that meet
Along the street,
As all sf us have de- ected.
Seem differently Affected
By summer heat.
Now, some there arc
Who calmly bear
To feel the very noOntide blaze
OF flaming Sol's indignant gaze
Upon them glare.
But many, too,
Grow red OF hue
As peoples INES meath thin, the same aoce beam beam
Trickling we view.
All, ali In vain,
Huge draughts they drain
Ofwater, cooled with grateful Ice,
Or feed ON frozen cream more nice;
Hot they remaul
But this distress
Might be made less,
