Rhyme and Reason (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Rhyme and Reason
My friend, I believe, is as nearly secure As anyone now is; at least I am sure That if merit can strengthen his tenure, he'll stay Till he wants to resign, or death takes him away. You'd like him, I'm sure, if you know him as I do, For he's one of the very few men you can tie to. Rare character? Yes, you're felicitous there. He is one of a class so remarkably rare That the newspapers speak of it often as non est, Being thoroughly, conscientiously honest; Not rough, like the commoner plain, blunt kind, But polished in manners, in speech refined; And yet a certain unconscious air Bids any who might presume beware Lest quick resentment should make them feel That under the polish is solid steel.
