And in their own writings pursue.
THE FLINT AND THE STEEL.
Cruelly bent, it chanced the Flint
Ill-treated the Steel one day;
And wounding, gave it many a dint,
To draw its sparks away.
When laid aside, this angry cried
To that, “What would your value be
Without my help?” the Flint replied,
“As much as yours, sir, but for me.”
