ART the very mockery of it

In a painted mask we sometimes call a face,

Alas, that pigment be so badly used

And artistry brought to much sad disgrace.

 Take freedom but take care lest it take your liberty from you.

To be a humorist one must be concise, witty, but short-lived, for the good die young.

Cleverness—word most useful to the Bard

Who finds his pathway all beset with doubt,

For if we find his hidden meanings hard,

We call him “clever"—then he knows what we’re about.

Publicity is the keystone in the Arch of Triumph.

Money—pretender to the throne of all we most desire.

Doubt is the opposing influence of our lives.

Happiness, some never know as a lasting friend, but only as a bowing acquaintance.

Wifehood is a profession, but Womanhood is the Expression.

Faith is the oasis in our Desert of Lost Hope.
