Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wair. Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and s^as remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or Tate I knock unbidden once at every gate! If sleeping, wake! If feasting, rise ueiure I turn away. It is the hour of fate And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and ronqner every foe Save death; but those who doubt and hesitate Condemned to failure, penury, woe, Seek me in vain and uselessly implore. I answer not and I return no more. ALUEf N8 cts White Lawns 20 cts Km broidery 10 cts Embroidery 75 cts yd wide Silk...
