"Relay Heights" June 8, 1912

_Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law, Pleased with a rattle,

tickled with a straw; Some livelier plaything gives his youth delight,

A little louder, but as empty quite; Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his

riper stage, And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age; Pleased

with this bauble still, as that before; Till tired he sleeps, and

life's poor play is o'er._

"AN ESSAY ON MAN"--_Pope._
