ENVOI TO 'PROVERBS IN PORCELAIN', by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: No moral. Nothing more than may
Last Line: May lurk in fables frail as these.
Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin


No Moral. Nothing more than may
Enliven hours that seem too long;
Or shred on some beclouded day
The light of laughter and of song.

No Moral, -- no. Yet oft they make
More than they mean, who would but please;
And something for the Moral's sake
May lurk in Fables frail as these.
