Page:The Seven Seas (Kipling, 1896).djvu/149

Rh Still the world is wondrous large,—seven seas from marge to marge,—

And it holds a vast of various kinds of man;

And the wildest dreams of Kew are the facts of Khatmandhu,

And the crimes of Clapham chaste in Martaban.

Here's my wisdom for your use, as I learned it when the moose

And the reindeer roared where Paris roars to-night:—

There are nine and sixty ways of constructing tribal lays,

And—every—single—one—of—them—is—right!
