Printed in Great Britain. To MY FATHER AND MOTHER
FROM THEIR DEVOTED FRIEND THEIR SON It is not growing like a tree In bulk, doth make man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald and sear; A lily of a day Is fairer far in May Although it fall and die that night—— It was the plant and flower of light. In small proportions we just beauties see, And in short measures life may perfect be. —Ben Jonson. CONTENTS
