IX.

In passing through the grounds of Richard Wain,

Karagwe found, upon a plat of grass,

Some sheets of paper fastened at the ends,

Blown from the house, he thought, or thrown away.

The sheets were closely written on and sealed.

Here was a long-sought opportunity

To learn the older letters of the pen.

That night the writings, wrapped about the Book,

Were safe within the hollow of the tree.
