\ PASSAGE


The world was made VIII mau was born
He must tasto for himself tho forbidden
springs;
He can mover take warning from old fash
ionei things;
Ho must fight as boy, he must drink as
youth,
He must kiss, he must love, he must swear /,
the truth
or tho friend Of his soul, he must laugh u

Tho hint OF deceit in woman's eyes
That are clear aS the wells Of Paradise.
And SO he goes ON tin tho world grows old,
Till his tongue has grown cautious, his hoat
has grown cold,
Till the smile leaves his mouth, and tho ring
leaves his laugh,
And he shirks the bright headache YOU asl
him to Quafr;
lie grows formal with men, and with womer
pole
And distrustcul OF both when they're out OF

Then he cat' FOR his palate, and drinks fer

And loves Tor his pleasure and It's time he
