Description:This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: JUNE AND truly need there was to the old King For consolation: since the mournful day Of Psyche's fate he took no comforting, But only for a speedy death would pray; And on his head his hair grew silver-white. ?Such on life's topmost bough is sorrow's blight, When the stout heart is cankering to decay. Which when his daughters learnt, they both were quick Comfort and solace to their sire to lend.
