A new song should be sweetly sung, For memory gilds it not ; It brings not back the strains that rung Through childhood's sunny cot.

Strana 117 - And you are blind in the left eye, and your digestion is very bad," and so I went on. At last he said : " I never saw a doctor like you. It scares a man, 'most. Can you cure me?" I said, " Yes," and wrote out my directions. It was really a simple case. When he produced a well-worn wallet I declined to take a fee, and said, " I owe you for the seat, and the good sleep I disturbed last night." "Thunder! I see. You were the man.
