“Where's he that died o' yesterday?
What better chance hath he
To clink the can and toss the pot
When this night's junkets be?
For the lad that died o' yesterday
Is just as dead — ho! ho! —
As the whoreson knave men laid away
A thousand years ago.”

Slipped from my hold—thus plenty comes and goes.

(Or was it I?) the year I met with Rose.”

Of climes his elders do not know.
He has more learning than appears
On the scroll of twice three thousand years.”

Gather the gifts of Earth with equal hand;
Henceforth ye too may share the birthright soil,
The corn, the wine, and all the harvest-home.”
