Little Bobbie's
Pa
HE teecher gaiv me a new piece
; to lern for next week's speeking
day. We had sum company at
the house & wenever Pa sees quite a
few peepul in the house he likes to
teese me & git me mad. One of tn=
peepul at the housge was a butiful lady
wich maiks a living riteing potrey for
the magazeens, 1 was showing (he
peece to her that I have.to speek, &
sale sed: Ecbbie, that is a butiful po>m
& I know you will reesite i. fine.
I.et us hear how it starts, Bobbie,
sed Pa, & 1 will tel' you rite away
wether it is a butiful peece or not.
What is the paim of it & how does it
start?
The nalm of it is Antony & C(lee
patry, I téald Pa, & it beegins like
this:
I am dying, lKgypt, dyin-
Kbbs the crimson lite-tide fast
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Ga her on the evening blast,
That ix enuff of it to read, ssd Pa
I reemember specking thiat peece wen
I was i boy at skool, & 1 dident thiak
much of it then & 1 doant think much
of it now.
I think Bobbie's techer prubly
knows what she wants him to speck,
sed Ma, & beesides, | always lik-sd
that peece myself,
But what is the sense of it? sed Pa.
Why did Antony say
I aum dying, Egypt, dying?
Why did he have to let all of Egypt
know abou it? sed Pa.
Why, sed Ma, that was a pet naim
that he had for the Queen of Egyvp!,
that is why he sed 1 am dying, Egy;t,
dying.
I doant like the sound of the lina
at all, sed Pa. He ought to have
called the lady by her right naim wen
he had so littel a time in wich 1o
speek, 1 mite as well say, if I was
saying my last words to you,
I am croaking, Wisconsin, croaking.”
Jest beekaus yure hoam is Wiscon
sin is no sine 1 shud call you that, sed
Pa,
I am afrade you do not grasp the
poctick buty of the peece, sed the lady
that rites' potrey. 1 recall one verse
that | always thought was butifal:
L.et not Caesar's servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
'"Twas no foeman’'s arm that felled
him,
‘"T'was his own which struck the
blow;
H's who pillowed on thy tresses,
Shrunk aside from glory’'s ray,
His, who, drunk with thy caresses,
Mudly threw a world away.
Oh, 1 think that is butitul, sed Ma.
I must go next week & hear littel
Bobbie speek it. ’
I doant think he ought to speek a
pecce about a man that wud throw
away a world for any queen, sed Pa.
If he gets to maiking a hero out of a
boob like that, he mite do the saim
thing hisself wen he grows up.
I guess you needent worry, sed Ma.
If he grows up like his father, he
won't have any wo'lds to throw away
for queens, It will keep him busy
bringing hoam enuff bacon for his
own fambly,
His Steady Eye.
