THE SALT.

Maybe you're right; maybe you're not. 'Tis sand,

I calls it; but no matter what 'tis called,

With any kind of little snag they're stalled.

They'd starve and die with plenty all around 'em.

I minds when our supplies ran out we found 'em,

Sometimes when we were in the bush, with tea

And baccy gone--no drink or nothin'--we

Would fetch a kettle full of juniper

And boil it for an hour or so, and stir

Barbados black-strap with it--

THE SCHOLAR (_in deep spiritual reflection_).

Do I see,

In its archetypal form, Zymology,

That most potential art?
