[Mark the gracious, welcome guest]
“Mark the gracious, welcome guest,
Master of heroic jest;
He who cheers man's dull abodes
With the laughter of the gods;
To the joyless ones of earth
Sounds the reveille of mirth.
Master of heroic jest;
He who cheers man's dull abodes
With the laughter of the gods;
To the joyless ones of earth
Sounds the reveille of mirth.
“Well we meet, to part with pain,
But ne'er shall he and we be Twain.”
But ne'er shall he and we be Twain.”
