The frontispiece was taken out. and the

not only important, but is of considerable
length and we are permitted to give some
extracts from it.
Take up the White Mans burden
| Send forth the best we breed
| Go, bind your sons to exile
| To serve your captives' need;
| To wait, in heavy harness,
On fiuttered folk and wild
| Your new caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
| The savage wars of peace
| Fill full the mouth of Famine,
4 And bid the sickness cease;
| The ports ye shall not enter
The roads ye shall not tread,
| Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
|
| BY all ye will or whisper,
| BY all ye leave or DO,
| The silent sullen peoples
shall weigh your God and you.
