"Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort that I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought."
-- Alexander Hamilton

A Fool's Prayer


THE royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool, Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells, And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile Behind the painted grin he wore.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee Upon the monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: "O Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool!

"No pity, Lord, could change the heart From red with wrong to white as wool;
The rod must heal the sin; but Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool!

" 'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep Of truth and right, O Lord, we stay;
'Tis by our follies that so long We hold the earth from heaven away.

"These clumsy feet, still in the mire, Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust Among the heart-strings of a friend.

"The ill-timed truth we might have kept � Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung? The word we had not sense to say � Who knows how grandly it had rung?

"Our faults no tenderness should ask, The chastening stripes must cleanse them all; But for our blunders-oh, in shame Before the eyes of heaven we fall.

"Earth bears no balsam for mistakes; Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool That did his will; but Thou, O Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool!"

The room was hushed; in silence rose The King, and sought his gardens cool,
And walked apart, and murmure low, "Be merciful to me, a fool!"
-- Edward Rowland Sill
