NOT YOUTH PERTAINS TO ME.
10 lines✦
ot youth pertains to me,Nor delicatesse, I cannot beguile the time with talk,Awkward in the parlor, neither a dancer nor elegant,In the learn'd coterie sitting constrain'd and still, for learninginures not to me,Beauty, knowledge, inure not to me-yet there are two or three thingsinure to me,I have nourish'd the wounded and sooth'd many a dying soldier,And at intervals waiting or in the midst of camp,Composed these songs.
