TO
THEODORE OLCOTT PHILLIPS

“Good luck befriend thee, son; for, at thy birth,

The FAIRY LADIES danced upon the hearth;

The drowsy nurse hath sworn she did them spy

Come tripping to the room, where thou didst lie,

And sweetly singing round about thy bed

Strew all their blessings on thy sleeping head!”

MILTON
