Alas for him who sees a thing grand And does not fit himself to it! But the meanest act, on sea or on land, Is to find a fault, and then do it! ALAS FOR HIM WHO SEES A THING GRAND AND DOES NOT FIT HIMSELF TO IT BUT THE MEANEST ACT ON SEA OR ON LAND IS TO FIND A FAULT AND THEN DO IT
world in that same spring! His face had grown noble and good to see, And the crown sat well on his majesty. Now he ate enough, and ate no more, He drank about half what he drank before, He reigned a real king in Aureoland, Reigned with his head and his heart and his hand. All this through the fool did come to pass. And every Christmas-eve that was, The palace-gates stood open wide And the poor came in from every side, And the king rose up and served them duly, And his people loved him very truly. _SAID_ AND _DID_. Said the boy as he read, "I too will be bold, I will fight for the truth and its glory!" He went to the playground, and soon had told A very cowardly story! Said the girl as she read, "That was grand, I declare! What a true, what a lovely, sweet soul!" In half-an-hour she went up the stair, Looking as black as a coal! "The mean little wretch, I wish I could fling This book at his head!" said another; Then he went and did the same ugly thing To his own little trusting brother!  SAID AND DID BY GEORGE MAC DONALD READ FOR LIEBER BOX THAT ORG BY SWEET HOME SAID THE BOY AS HE READ I TOO WILL BE BOLD I WILL FIGHT FOR THE TRUTH AND ITS GLORY HE WENT TO THE PLAYGROUND AND SOON HAD TOLD A VERY COWARDLY STORY SAID THE GIRL AS SHE READ THAT WAS GRAND I DECLARE WHAT A TRUE WHAT A LOVELY SWEET SOUL IN HALF AN HOUR SHE WENT UP THE STAIR LOOKING AS BLACK AS A COAL THE MEAN LITTLE WRETCH I WISH I COULD FLING THIS BOOK AT HIS HEAD SAID ANOTHER THEN HE WENT AND DID THE SAME UGLY THING TO HIS OWN LITTLE TRUSTING BROTHER
