PRUDENCE.
Prudence is dressed in a wonderful gray, Cool as the clouds up above. Prudence is careful — her feet never stray Down in the courtyard; with Love. Waiting on Prudence, his kingdom might fa.ll, And Logic would reign in his place ; But Folly is • reckless and comes at his call — For Love has a beautiful face ! Prudence has wisdom, and Folly has art, Prudence is placid and kind. Prudence has virtue, but Folly has heart Yet he who searches may find That Prudence has envy of- Folly so gay, And wishes that she dared to race . Down to the courtyard where Love holds his sway — For Love has a beautiful face! — Mabel Haughton Collyer.
