I sang my most melodious song, My sweetest roundelay, In vain, to win a wanderer's love; Then threw my life away. And now in distant Indian seas, Beneath the wild waves' roar, I sit, a prisoner in a cell, And sing of love no more. Afar within the realms of space, Where planets hold their sway, I shine to guide the wanderer's feet Along the homeward way. * * * * * No. 35.--A FLEET OF SHIPS. My fleet of ships went over the sea, Bound for a distant shore. One day, they all came back to me, And marvellous freight they bore. The first brought home a cargo of love, The second, labor and toil; A title the third on me bestowed; The fourth gave claim to the soil; The fifth my knees bent low in prayer; The sixth gave control of men; The seventh another put under my care; The eighth in my hand laid a pen; The ninth sent me far away from my home; The tenth gave me limitless power; The eleventh put me in charge of a court; The twelfth made learning its dower; Number thirteen brought me a steed; Fourteen forth sent me to preach; Fifteen gave charge of other men's goods; Sixteen brought duty to teach; Seventeen to another bound me for years; Eighteen left no leisure from writing; Nineteen supplied me aid in my work; While twenty gave position for fighting. * * * * * No. 36.--TWO GOOD ANAGRAMS. 1.
