V DE AMICITIIS K HOUGH care and strife Elsewhere be rife, Upon my word I do not heed 'em; In bed I lie With books hard by, And with increasing zest I read 'em.
Propped up in bed, So much I 've read Of musty tomes that I 've a headful Of tales and rhymes Of ancient times, Which, wife declares, are ' ' simply dreadful ! " They give me joy Without alloy ; And is n't that what books are made for ?
And yet — and yet — (Ah, vain regret!) I would to God they all were paid for!
66 WESTERN VERSE No fest...ooned cup Filled foaming up Can lure me elsewhere to confound me; Sweeter than wine This love of mine For these old books I see around me!
A plague, I say, On maidens gay ; I '11 weave no compliments to tell 'em !
Vain fool I were, Did I prefer Those dolls to these old friends in vellum !
At dead of night My chamber 's bright Not only with the gas that 's burning, But with the glow Of long ago, — Of beauty back from eld returning.
Fair women's looks I see in books, I see them, and I hear their laughter, — Proud, high-born maids, Unlike the jades Which men-folk now go chasing after !
