And held it in the morning.
We were not waked by bugle-note,
No cheer our dreams invaded,
And yet at dawn their yellow coats
On the green slopes paraded.
—Helen Gray Cone.

There are ten things for which no one has ever yet been sorry. These are—for doing good to all; for speaking evil of none; for hearing before judging; for thinking before speaking; for holding an angry tongue; for being kind to the distressed; for asking pardon for all wrongs; for being patient towards everybody; for stopping the ears to a tale-bearer; for disbelieving most of the ill reports.
