THIRTY-FIVE

A Riddle

My face resembles all mankind;

I’m ever blind when with the blind;

When I’m approached by ladies fair,

I’m just as handsome I declare;

And when an ugly cur I view;

By Jove, I’m just as ugly too:

If a beggar does draw near,

Then quick a beggar I appear;

And if a goddess I should see,

I’m raised as god-like just as she.
