With both of them enraptured;
“You human toy, you’re some decoy,
For now you have me captured.”
THE OVER-FAVORED AND
THE CHANCELESS CHILD
The favored child was loved indeed
By father, mother, city and state—
All glad to give the highest meed,
The child they’ve blest both soon and late.
Another child did men berate,
And now and then they brought to shame;
