The Three Beggars

    quot;to my feat,

    I ood here from break of day.

    I  found a to eat,

    For only rubbish comes my way.

    Am I to live on lebeen-lone?

    Muttered t.

    quot;For all my pains on lebeen-lone?

    King Guaire walked amid

    the palace-yard and river-side

    And to three old beggars said,

    quot;You t have wandered far and wide

    Can ravel out ws in my head.

    Do men  most,

    Or get t w desire?

    A beggar said, quot;t t

    tire,

    And aut

    Unless desire hem so?

    But Guaire laug t,

    quot;If t be true as it seems true,

    One of you three is a rich man,

    For housand pounds

    asleep, if but he can

    Sleep before t;

    And thereon, merry as a bird

    its, King Guaire

    From river-side and palace-yard

    And left to t.

    quot;And if I win, one beggar said,

    though I am old I shall persuade

    A pretty girl to share my bed;

    t;I srade;

    t;Ill o the course

    Among tlemen,

    And lay it all upon a horse;

    t;I  again:

    A farmer y.

    One to another sighed and cried:

    tant dreams of beggary.

    t idleness o pride,

    Sang teeto noon;

    And wwilig

    the beggars moon

    None closed  eyes but sought

    to keep heir sleep;

    All sed till their anger grew

    And they were whirling in a heap.

    t t through;

    t till the day shone;

    t t day

    And till anot had gone,

    Or if ts stay

    t upon to rail,,

    And wood

    Before to end tale,

    they were commingling lice and blood

    quot;times up, hree

    it eyes upon ared.

    quot;times up, hree

    Fell do and snored.

    `Maybe I s,

    No, said the crane.

    `to my feat

    Ive stood as I one

    And seen t,

    Its certain trout somewhere

    And maybe I sake a trout

    but I do not seem to care.
