Jacob
Phoebe Cary [1824 - 1871]
HE dwelt among "apartments let,"About five stories high;
A man I thought that none would get,
And very few would try.
A boulder, by a larger stone
Half hidden in the mud,
Fair as a man when only one
Is in the neighborhood.
He lived unknown, and few could tell
When Jacob was not free;
But he has got a wife,--and O!
The difference to me!
from Poems and Parodies, 1854
