English wit and humor -- Periodicals
"There is nothing new under the sun."
So said the proverbial preacher.
But surely 'twas only his fun!
A modern and up-to-date teacher
Would tell him that Humour, and Art,
And Daughters, and Wives, and Morality,
All aim to make a fresh start
In novel (and nauseous) reality;
And the wail of the Wise Man will be, pretty soon,
"There is nothing _old_ under the sun--or the moon!"
