The joyful can sing on spirit wings

Each morn his lofty height,

In rapt’rous notes he sweetly sings,

And hails th’ approaching light;

But I from grief no solace know,

No portal from the night,

All joys to me insipid grow,

Afford me no delight.

If any one does not see why we multiply 202 by 50 in getting the answer, we refer him to his arithmetic.

43. Hour-glass.

44. Pen-man-ship.
