Cypress and Cedar! gracefullest of trees,
Friends of my boyhood! ye, before the breeze,
As lofty lords before an eastern throne,
Bend the whole body, not the head alone.
LYI.
Love thou thy neighbour as thyself
Lies an old sawe upon the shelf.
With intercourse and accent bland
Dogs.. smooth Maltese, tough Newfoundland,
And spirited and faithful Spitz..
Accost me: let them teach the wits.
The greater have come up and done
All honour, the minuter none.
Singling me from amidst the crowd
My next-door neighbour barks most loud.
