"A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE.

Whene'er the sun is smiling bright,
And makes the air delicious:
And / inhale it with delight,
Fate plays a trick capricious,
And ! am cast into despair
I sorrow, willy-nilly,
And catch my breath, because the air
Is teeming with bacilli.
And when / see a. pretty lass,
1 HE me thither straightway,
And close my heart, lest Cupid pass
Unbidden through the gateway.
For poets make the matter plain,
shall be gruff and mulish-
Love softens but to cause us pain,
And makes man look foolish.
And quail on toast-ah, gentle bird,
Though silent in your glory,
What songs inspired by you we've
heard
What charming bits of story!
I see you garnish-ed Alright,
I turn away and shiver,
Because I've heard that you invite.
Cirrhosis of the liver.
So shall seek a clustered nook
And scan the harmless pages
OF some good antiseptic book
And boil my beverages.
For everything I like seems bad
OF danger most prolific
And so I'll lead life that's sad,
But very scientific.
