LAUGH AND BE MERRY.
Laugh and be merry; remember, better the world with a song, Better the world with a blow in the teeth of a wrong. Laugh for the time is brief, a thread the length of a span, Laugh,- and be proud to belong to the old proud pageant of man.
Laugh and lie merry ; remember in olden time, God made Heaven and Earth, for joy He. took in a rhyme. Made them and filled them full with the strong rod wine of His mirth, The splendid joy of the stars, the joy of the earth.
So we must laugh and drink from the deep blue cup of the eky, Join the jubilant song of the great stars sweeping by, Laugh, and battle, and word, 1 and drink of the wine outpjuircd In the dear green earth, the sign of the joy of the Lord.
Laugh and he merry together, like brothers akin, Guesting awhile in the -rooms of a beautiful inn, Clad till the dancing stops, and the lilt of the music ends, Laugh till the game is played and be you merry, my friends.
