    With more of thanks and less of thought,
    I strive to make my matters meet;
    To seek what ancient sages sought,
    Physic and food in sour and sweet,
    To take what passes in good part,
    And keep the hiccups from the heart.

In Paris a queer little man you may see,
A little man all in gray;
Rosy and read more

In Paris a queer little man you may see,
A little man all in gray;
Rosy and round as an apple is he,
Content with the present whate'er it may be,
While from care and from cash he is equally free,
And merry both night and day!
"Ma foi! I laugh at the world," says he,
"I laugh at the world, and the world laughs at me!"
What a gay little man in gray.

to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles;
one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

There was a jolly miller once,
Lived on the River Dee;
He worked and sang, from morn to night;
No lark so blithe as he.
And this the burden of his song,
Forever used to be,--
"I care for nobody, not I,
If no one cares for me."
