VERSES
THE SIMPLE REQUISITES Tne man of life upright. Whose guiltless heart is free From all dishonest deeds, Or thoughts of vanity; That man needs neither towers Nor armour for defence, Nor secret vaults to fly From thunder’s violence. —Thomas Campion. CONTENTMENT » Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content; The quiet mind is richer than a crown; Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent; The poor estate scorns fortune’s angry frown. Such sweet contents, such minds, such sleep, such bliss. Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss. —Robert Greene. KEEPING THE FAITH Be but faithful, that is all; Go right on, and close behind thee There shall follow still; and find thee, Help, sure help! —A. H. Clough.
