Random Poem of the Day

1The fairy beam upon you,
2The stars to glister on you;
3    A moon of light
4    In the noon of night,
6The wheel of fortune guide you,
8    Run aye in the way
9    Till the bird of day,
10And the luckier lot betide you.
11To the old, long life and treasure,
12To the young, all health and pleasure;
13    To the fair, their face
14    With eternal grace,
15And the soul to be lov'd at leisure.
16To the witty, all clear mirrors,
17To the foolish, their dark errors;
18    To the loving sprite,
19    A secure delight;
20To the jealous, his own false terrors.
