'True bards believe all able to achieve what they achieve, said Naddo. But lo! that ambition is a word that begins with pounds and ends with pence like life, quoth the ledger-man, who, after all, had but card-scores, a tailor's account, and the bill for his wife's confinement in his pocket. All through his life he loves his last-written most, and no honey of Hybla is so sweet as a new rhyme.
When young, he imagines the world to be filled with one ambition; later on, he finds that so indeed it is but the name thereof is not Poesy. Strange! sighs he. And if, when he is seventeen, he writes a fluent song, and his fellow-clerk admire it, why, it is nothing; surely the ledger-man hath such scraps in his poke, or at least can roll off better.
