PLOVERS’ EGGS.*
bye to the oyster!
If I really knew what I wanted, I could give
up Laylah, or give up everything for Laylah.
But ‘‘what I want” varies from hour to hour.
This wavering is the root of all compromise,
and so of all good sense.
With this gift a man can spend his seventy
years in peace.
Now is this well or ill?
Emphasize gzft, then man, then spend, then
seventy years, and lastly peace, and change the
intonations—each time reverse the meaning !
I would show you how; but—for the moment!
—I prefer to think of Laylah.
