Leisure
ee) ee) ee) Sr OO 00 "His Christian name, I think,’was John. His surname, Leisure." -Austin Dobson, What is this life-this quaint vignette The poet paints of you? and yet No time we say like ours-but stay! How quiet and peaceful was YOUR day. No time have we to stand and trace The slow hours on the sundial’s face. No time to hear the thrushes call Above an orchard’s ivyed wall. No time for courtliness and grace, For patches, wigs and Flemish lace. A poor life this! ’Tis true, so rest Serenely, John, you held the best. ca _ SSS OSE 020 20S 0D
