For the foolish things we do
Now and then.
Well, we only really llv?.
Now and then;
Others' faults we can forgive,
Now and then;
At our own, then, let us wink;
Of life's sea we'd tire, I think.
If we didn't sort of sink
Now and then.

Any 8oul to Any Body.
lo we must part, my body, you and X,
Who've spent so many pleasant yean
together!
Tls sorry work to lose your company,
Who clove to me so close, whate*er the
weather,
From winter unto winter, wet or dry.
But you have reached the limit of your
tether,
And I must journey on my Way alone
And leave you quietly beneath a stone.

They say that you are altogether badi
(Forgive me; 'tis not my experience)
And think me very wicked to be sad
At leaving you. a clod, a orison, whence
To get quite fire* I should be very glad.
Perhaps Z may be so some few days
hence.
Bat now, methlnks, 'twere graceless not
to spend
A tear or two on my departing friend.

And 1 look back upon Its history,

You with tke honesty yon showed ta

And I must own that yon have oft oe*
feated
Unworthy sefeemee by your sincerity
And by a blush or stammering tongue
have tried
To make me think again before I lied.
Tls true you'xe not so handsome as you
wer* ...
' But that's^ not your fault, and Is partly
mine. '
Tou might have lasted longer with more
care' t
And still looked something like your /
first design. ,
And even now, with all your wear and
tear, - v
*Tls pitiful to think I must resign .
Tou, to the friendless grave, the patient
Prey
Of all the hungry Regions of decay.
Buf you must stay, dear body, and I go,
And I was once so very proud of youl
Tou made my mother's eyes to overflow
When first she saw you, wonderful and
" new.
And now, with all your fault* 'twere
hard to find
A slave more willing or a friend more
true.
Ay* even they who say the worst-about
you
Oka scarcely tell what Z shall do without
you.
