By Ollie, Addison and Me,
In hopes they'll buy in massive lots
And help us boil our little pots.

DEDICATION, 1908
Reader—would you a Cynic be?
Vindictive—Vitriolic?
Then be one in your Infancy—
Your Nurse will think it's Colic.
Like Measles take it while you're young,
'Twill drive your parents frantic,
But you'll grow up, (if still unhung)
An Optimist Romantic.

DEDICATION, 1909
Then here's to those who love the Stars
And diligently tea them,
And here's to all Ambitious Souls
Who strongly strive to be them;
But most to those Discerning Ones
Who know Stars when they see them.

God gives us our relatives—thank God we can choose our friends. (M)
When Papa comes in at the door the Lover flies out at the window. (T)
Look before you sleep. (M)
It's a strong stomach that has no turning. (T)
Those that came to cough remain to spray. (H)
Naught is lost save honor. (H)
God sends the tempest to the shorn lambs. (T)
Silence gives contempt.
