MORAL EMBLEMS I: 1 by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: SEE HOW THE CHILDREN IN THE PRINT
Last Line: TO THEIR SAGE LESSONS NOT BE BLIND.

See how the children in the print
Bound on the book to see what's in 't!
O, like these pretty babes, may you
Seize and @3apply@1 this volume too!
And while your eye upon the cuts
With harmless ardour opes and shuts,
Reader, may your immortal mind
To their sage lessons not be blind.
