scold me。' One day she told me; with a sigh; I hadn't lectured her
for a month。 'I am afraid I have offended you;' says she; 'or else
worn you out; dear。' When I am well; give me a simpleton; to make
me laugh。 When I am ill; give me a simpleton to soothe me with her
innocent tenderness。 A simpleton shall wipe the dews of death; and
close my eyes: and when I cross the river of death; let me be met
by a band of the heavenly host; who were all simpletons here on
earth; and too good for such a hole; so now they are in heaven; and
their garments always whitebecause there are no laundresses there。〃
Arrived at this point; the Anglo…Saxon race will retire; grinning;
to fresh pastures; and leave this champion of 〃a Simpleton;〃 to
thunder paradoxes in a desert。
