Book Excerpt

y wants beset, Is quickly glad his own name to forget; Unless you've gold you cannot do much harm, And if you've gold you need no other arm. Gold if you lack you cannot cross the brine; Better than ten men's strength is one man's coin.

ON A YOUNG MAN WITH RED HAIR

He is a lad of sober mind, By no means martially inclined; Nor fit to bear war's dreadful shocks, Although he carries fire-locks.
