DEDICATION, 1911
TO THE MERRY
"Wisdom may not be confined
'Twixt covers of the dictionary,
Neither will it be defined;
Learning, you may quickly bury;
Wisdom—Soul and Life combined combined—
Lingers ever with the merry."
DEDICATION, 1905
TO THE WORLD AT LARGE
This Little Book of Wisdom Great
It pleases us to dedicate
To that Rampageous Reprobate—
The World at Large.
Yet as we mark his Stony Phiz
And see him whoop and whirl and whiz,
We can but cry—O Lord, why is
The World at Large!
OLIVER HERFORD.
