Nothing TO cat b. iood
Nothing 10 wear but clothes,
To keep one from going nude
Nothing to breathe but air.

Nothing TO comb but hair.
Nowhere 10 sleep but In bed
Nothing weep but tears,
Nothing bury but dead.

Nothing to strike but gait:
Everything moves that goes
Nothing at all but common sense
Can withstand these woes. 49,,
