In Memory of A.E. Housman (1859-1936)

       When I was one-and-twenty
        I heard a wise man say,
        "Give crowns and pounds and guineas
        But not your heart away;
        Give pearls away and rubies
        But keep your fancy free."
        But I was one-and-twenty,
        No use to talk to me.

                                          From "When I was One-and-Twenty"
