      CONTENTS

      SOMETHING ELSE AGAIN

      Present Imperative

      Horace: Book I, Ode 11

      Tu ne quaesieris—scire nefas—quem mihi; quem tibi——

      AD LEUCONOEN

      Nay, query not, Leuconoë, the finish of the fable;

      Eliminate the worry as to what the years may hoard!

      You only waste your time upon the Babylonian Table—

      (Slang for the Ouija board).

      And as to whether Jupiter, the final, unsurpassed one,

      May add a lot of winters to our portion here below,

      Or this impinging season is to be our very last one—

      Really, I'd hate to know.

      Apply yourself to wisdom! Sweep the floor and wash the dishes,

      Nor dream about the things you'll do in 1928!

      My counsel is to cease to sit and yearn about your wishes,

      Cursing the throws of Fate.

      My! how I have been chattering on matters sad and pleasant!

      (Endure with me a moment while I polish off a rhyme).

      If I were you, I think, I'd bother only with the present—

      Now is the only time.

      The Doughboy's Horace

      Horace: Book III, Ode 9

      Donec eram gratus tibi——

      HORACE, PVT. ——TH INFANTRY, A. E. F., WRITES:

      While I was fussing you at home

      You put the notion in my dome

      That I was the Molasses Kid.

      I batted strong. I'll say I did.

      LYDIA, ANYBURG, U. S. A., WRITES:

      While you were fussing me alone

      To other boys my heart was stone.

      When I was all that you could see

      No girl had anything on me.

      HORACE:

      Well, say, I'm having some romance

      With one Babette, of Northern France.

      If that girl gave me the command

      I'd dance a jig in No Man's Land.

      LYDIA:

      I, too, have got a young affair

      With Charley—say, that boy is there!

      I'd just as soon go out and die

      If I thought it'd please that guy.

      HORACE:

      Suppose I can this foreign wren

      And start things up with you again?

      Suppose I promise to be good?

      I'd love you, Lyd. I'll say I would.

      LYDIA:

      Though Charley's good and handsome—oh, boy!

      And you're a stormy, fickle doughboy,

      Go give the Hun his
