@RUBATYAT OF LuNGER"
PARAPHRASES OLD OMAR
Consumptive Writes Ballad in
Style of Popular Per-
sian Poet

Like a voice from the grave Is the pub
licatIon In the April issue of Journal Of
outdoor Life of come verses from the pen
Of the late Leonard Mckee. While he
was making brave struggle for life, as a
patient Of the Franklin County tuberou-
losis sanitariun, young Mckee published a
number OF articles, as we'll as n small
weekly newspaper the Lunger, which
brought the local institution into unusual
prominence
The young man was equally apt in verse
as in prose, and delighted particularly in
parodies of well-known compositions, Out
door Life publishes n number of quatrains
avowedly done In the style of the familiar
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the Persian
poet.
One Of the most popular of all the
quatrains of the original is thus parodied
A Robert Chsmbers underneath the bough
besIde me, whooping 'mongst the thick pinions.
Why the piniops were Paradise cenowi
thus:
And that inverted truth they call the lie
OFT used In edyertsing fake cures sly
Lift not your hopeB to them for aid,
For II you dot is to die.
The peculiar hopefullness and general op-
tlmism that characterized young Mckee are
clearly seen in the last of the several
stanzas:
And when. oh. bounteous Nature. not too fast.
You've made my old lung whole again at last
or starting me anew. Turn down that empty
past.
