WANDERINGS IN SOUTH AMERICA 314 



Show thy mercy, gentle reader, 



Let him not entreat in vain; 

 It will be his strength's best feeder, 



Should he ever go again. 



And who knows how soon, complaining 



Of a cold and wifeless home. 

 He may leave it, and again in 



Equatorial regions roam?
