THE KERMIT GRAY

IN the evening gray the Hermit nj
Before his cave on a twisted mat,
And he told his beads and breathed n
prayer
VI thankfulness for his haven there.
Here, far from the market place,
MY humble spirit grows in grace;
ana here my lot and fate I'll fill,
Lulled by the tinkling, drowsy rill."
but, bark A horse is coming feet,
ana the rider stays his steed to greet
Inc Hermit gray, and bends him low,
MY lord" he cries, "dost thou not know
Thy brothers dead, and his wealth Is
thine?
among thy peers it's thy lot to shine.
Why lnger here? Come, mount and ride
Upon my horse, steed of pride
Here Is my cloak, of golden sheen,
MY spurs, my sword, and doublet green I"
The Hermit rose, and curious look
Passed Ger his face. He rose and took
His staff, his cruise, his beads and all,
He gave them fling, and he let them fall
Ear and wide on the craven floor,
an ons VINO never neeo them more.
Come! Haste!" he cried; II long to see
The acres broad that belong to me;
The towers and trees and the manor old.
The boxes, iron-ribbed; the gold,
And all that wealth and power can bring
To noble rich as a Moorish Kingv
AlAck and alas! AS the Hermit rose
He clapped his fingers to his nose,
For a smell of sulphur filed the air,
While the rider-well, he wasn't there
And the Hermit wished he had held aloof
As he gazed on the print of cloven hoof.

The tale Is good-if we'll applied:
Be sure all checks are certified.
