to the gentle
GUIDE
who lets me ever go my own way, yet brings me right—
to the laughter-loving
PHILOSOPHER
who, if he has not reconciled me to bearing the toothache patently, at least has taught me the comfort that this even will also pass—
to the good
FRIEND
who smiles when i tell him of my troubles, and who when i ask for help, answers only “wait!”—
to the grave-faced
JESTER
to whom all life is but a volume of old humour—
to good master
Time
THIS LITTLE WORK OF A POOR
PUPIL
IS DEDICATED
