CHAPTER II.
Ah! poor youth! in pitiful truth,
Thy pride must feel a fall, poor youth!
What thou shalt be well have I seen—
Thou shalt be only what others have been.
. . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . .
The commonest drudge of men and things,
Instead of your—conquering heroes and kings!
Martin Tupper.
