A DISCOVERY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: WHILE HERO-FOOLS OF VAGUELY VALIANT MIND
Last Line: WHILE ALL HIS WORLD REVOLVED AROUND HIMSELF.
Subject(s): MISERS;
While hero-fools of vaguely valiant mind
Were struggling manfully the Pole to find,
Right here at home I found the very Pole
In Miser Skinflint's crabbed, arctic soul,
His icy heart all heavy with his pelf,
While all his world revolved around himself.
