My FIRST the heats of July pack With rows of milk-pans down the back; September fills them all with starch, And, though they neither drill nor march, Each has a warlike name: October plucks my honors off, And down I'm thrown to floor or trough: Perchance the mill to powder turns Or smouldering fire to ashes burns My rough and useless frame. A weaver's loom my SECOND fills In dozens of tall cotton mills, Before the shuttle, o'er and through, Has thrown the filling straight and true, And made each ending fast. My WHOLE a house in corners set, Has swung as long as time, and yet A trap for foolish folk shall swing, And lessons to the wiser bring, As long as time shall last. What is that which we often return, but never borrow? Can you tell me of what parentage Napoleon the First was? What was Joan of Arc made of? Why ought stars to be the best Astronomers? What colors were the winds and the waves in the last violent storm? In what color should a secret be kept? How do trees get at their summer dress without opening their trunks?
