Now " Scotty " was a gambling man, And, when his eyes were glassed and framed.
He saw in print, to his amaze, A horse called " Viper " named.
At once that superstitious man Backed " Viper " for the highest place ; And heard ere long, to his great joy, That horse had won the race.
" Fatty, " said " Scot, " with grateful tears, " You called me ' Viper, ' to my shame But it was heavenly Providence To call me by that name. " Happy Wind , happy wind, how sweet Thy life must be ! The great, proud fie...lds of gold Run after thee : And here are flowers, with heads To nod and shake ; And dreaming butterflies To tease and wake. Oh, happy wind, I say, To be alive this day.
28 The House Builder The Sluggard A JAR of cider and my pipe, In summer, under shady tree ; A book of one that made his mind Live by its sweet simplicity : Then must I laugh at kings who sit In richest ckambers, signing scrolls ; And princes cheered in public ways, And stared at by a thousand fools.
Let me be free to wear my dreams, Like weeds in some mad maiden's hair, When she doth think the earth has not Another maid so rich and fair ; And proudly smiles on rich and poor, The queen of all fair women then : So I, dressed in my idle dreams, "Will think myself the king of men.
