Who makes the Top his Breathing-place.
" Come , " said the King, " we will sail to Farthest Ind. "
" Wait till I let you! " laughed the rude North Wind.
J UDGE not the Ragged Boy or Shaggy Foal,

B Y him that hath a brave and lofty Mind,
No Strife is either Courted or Declined.
" 'T WOULD be something for One, but for two it is Dearth! " —
As Great Alexander remarked of the Earth.
