Food for Thought
He ate and drank the precious Words –
His Spirit grew robust –
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was Dust –
He danced along the dingy Days
And this Bequest of Wings
Was but a Book – What Liberty
A loosened Spirit brings –
Franklin 1593, as above;
Johnson 1587, divides as quatrains; does not cap Spirit L8
