s E W PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY E. C. YEATS AT THE CUALA PRESS, CHURCHTOWN, DUNDRUM, COUNTY DUBLIN. SUBSCRIPTION TWELVE SHILLINGS A YEAR POST FREE. . L W 2 gr I TO HIS SONN E Three things thear bee, that prosper all apace, And flourish while they are asunder farr; But on :1 day, they meet all in a place, And when they meet they one another marre. And they be these: the Wood, the Weed, the Wagge; The Wood is that that makes the gallowes tree ! The Weed is that which strings the hangman's bagge; The Wagge, my pretty knave, betokens thee. Now marke, dear boy, while these assemble not, Green springes the tree, hemp growes, the Wagge is wild; But when they meet it makes the timber rot, It fretts the halter, and it choakes the child ! God bless the child ! Sir Walter Raleigh. 3oo copies only.
