174 psl. - When you are old. vn is to come we know not. But we know That what has been was good — was good to show, Better to hide, and best of all to bear. We are the masters of the days that were. We have lived, we have loved, we have suffered . . . even so.
18 psl. - Doing his pitch in the street. High shoulders, low shoulders, broad shoulders, narrow ones, Round, square, and angular, serry and shove; While from within a voice, Gravely and weightily fluent...
34 psl. - I heard a drum go rolling, Rub-a-dubbing in the distance, Awful dour-like and defiant. 'In and out among the cotton, Mud, and chains, and stores, and anchors, Tramped a squad of battered scarecrows Poor old Dixie's bottom dollar! 'Some had shoes, but all had rifles, Them that wasn't bald was beardless, And the drum was rolling Dixie, And they stepped to it like men, sir!
