To Leonard Price

You are now a boy named Leonard Price.
Your styles and manners are very nice,
Your life has only just begun,
How oft you wish your schooldays done,
But when your age is 21,
And childhood days will all have gone,
You’ll tread in steps you’ve never trod.
Life’s many ways you’ll have to plod,
Your future life will then depend,
On how you live and how you spend.
