HOW IT IS SOMETIMES!
To "blaw or not to "low," that's the
question.
Whether 'tis better to list to "yarns' which
"other people tell
Or let your own him with wardly music

"Ayo i there's the rub,"
Yours, 'tis true, will be largely intereperaed

To be silent to be wise, anal get credit for
great resource of mind
And yet be blest with trains of only onlin

To be wordy, to blow and bear the plum
of that peculiar few Whoso ignarice Silenco kindly hides from

Silence is a sparkling gen, 'tis true, You words are Nature's blessing too, And 'tis botter to bubble torth in cheery
word expression,
Than lat Silence reign in melancholy do
pression.
To bo silont to be morose to brood, to
foar a thousand ills
Whose moody victims Ge so surely kills, To be wordy, to die and puff with elvei
timiary air
And lough to scorn the haggard face of Care
Makes all the difference on this mundano
aphere. that For he lives to fight his battles o'er Whose countless victims lo in "eces of

To pail, to swell with Falstaffistic air To swagger, brag and boldly rip and swear Makes little ti such mustrous giants rise
That Earth's to suull for their giguutic
size.
Yet how to other people would these deeds
of valor show
If the hero failed the least, his noisy horn
