To me he seemed a man of larger mould, 



A being thoughtfully ordained of fate 



To serve as pattern for the lesser great 

 Who lacked his breeding, as, perchance, his gold. 

 Mis endowments were assimilate, controlled. 



And ranked l>y spirit which deserved high state. 



I marvelled how he kept life's values straight, 

 Saw freshly, lent a hand, was not cajoled. 



I knew him, then, to whom life had heen kind: 



And kinder he in stewardship's intent, 

 The wisdom garnered in that sturdy mind 



tie put to usury, as friendship lent 

 Occasion; for his eager heart divined 



The swift rewards of love in service spent.
