The young lambs are bleating in the meadows,
The young birds are chirping in the nest,
The young fawns are playing with the shadows,
The young flowers are blowing toward the west
But the young, young children, O my brothers,
They are weeping bitterly!

They are weeping in the playtime of the others,
In the country of the free.

E. B. BROWNING, The Cry of the Children, st. 1

And both were young, and one was beautiful.'

BYRON, The Dream, st. 2

Young men think old men fools, and old men know young men to be so.

Quoted by CAMDEN as a saying of one Dr. Metcalf

When all the world is young, lad,

And all the trees are green;

And every goose a swan, lad,

And every lass a queen;

Then hey for boot and horse, lad,

And round the world away;

Young blood must have its course, lad,

And every dog his day.

KINGSLEY, Songs from the Water Babies, II, st. 1

Young folks are smart, but all ain't good thet's new;
I guess the gran'thers they knowed sunthin' tu.

LOWELL, Biglow Papers, II, ii, lines 307, 308

The atrocious crime of being a young man.
WILLIAM PITT, EARL OF CHATHAM, Speech,
March 6, 1741

Young people now-a-days

Have fallen sadly off, I think, from all the good old ways.
BAYARD TAYLOR, The Quaker Widow, st. 15

Younger. We shall ne'er be younger.

Shakespeare, Taming of the Shrew, Induction, 2

Yourself. Why don't you speak for yourself, John? LONGFELLOW, Courtship of Miles Standish, iii, line 154

Youth. A strappan youth; he taks the mother's eye. BURNS, The Cotter's Saturday Night, st. 8

1 Both young

and one how passing fair!

BYRON, Parisina, st. 9

Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows,
While proudly riding o'er the azure realm

In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes;

Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm :
Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway,
That hushed in grim repose expects his evening prey.
GRAY, The Bard, ii, 2

He doth not lack an almanac,
Whose youth is in his soul.

HOLMES, Remember-Forget, st. 5

In youth the heart exults and sings,
The pulses leap, the feet have wings;
In age the cricket chirps, and brings
The harvest home of day.

LONGFELLOW, Kéramos, st. 17

In the very May-morn of his youth,
Ripe for exploits and mighty enterprises.

SHAKESPEARE, King Henry V, i, 2

Cursed be the social wants that sin against the strength
of youth!"

Cursed be the social lies that warp us from the living
truth!
TENNYSON, Locksley Hall, lines 59, 60

There are gains for all our losses,

There are balms for all our pain,
But when youth, the dream departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.

R. H. STODDARD, The Flight of Youth, st. I

God pity them both! and pity us all,
Who vainly the dreams of youth recall.

WHITTIER, Maud Muller, st. 52

Yule.— They bring me sorrow touched with joy,
The merry, merry bells of Yule.

TENNYSON, In Memoriam, xxviii, st. 5

Zaccheus.- Zaccheus he

Did climb the tree

Our Lord to see.

1This filthy marriage-hindering Mammon.
