The Two Ages.

Folks we're happy a. days were long
In the old Arcadian times
When life seemed only dance and song,
In the sweetest % all sweet cIimes.
our world grows bigger. and, stage by stage.
~ the pitlless years have rolled.
We've quite forgotten the Golden Age.
And come 10 the Age of Gold.
Time went BY In a sheepi-h way
Upon Thessaly's plains Of yore,
In the nineteeath century lambs at play
Mean mutton. and nothing more.
our swains az present far too sage
To live one lived % old
SO they couple the crook % the Golden Age
wfth = hook IA the Age % Gold.
From Corydou's reed the mountains round
Heard news Of his latest fame
And Tityrus made the woods resound
With echoes or Daphne's name
They kindly left a lasting gauge
OF their musical art were told;
And the Pandeau pipe Of the Golden Age
Brings mirth b. the Age Of Gold.
Dwellers in huts and in marble halls
From shePer'Iess mp 70 Queen
Cared little for bounets and less for shawIs.
And nothing for crinoIine
But now simplicity's not the rage,
And It's funny b think how cold
The dress they wore in the Golden Age
Would seem in the Age % Gold.
