LE COMMENCEMENT Be not like him who eats the peach And then forgets the tree, The traveller upon the ship Who never thanks the sea; But when you read what others wrote, Please reck the work it took The staff to skirmish up the stuff And make it in a book. There ' s every thought in order— The poetry and prose From simple grinds and business adds, To rhetorical flows. Throughout, there is a harmony Betwixt the moan and laugh- Now promise—When you compliment You wont forget the staff. The Staff Itself.
