BODY AND SOUL

By RUFUS.

(*From the Latin of Owen.*) The sacred writers to express the whole, Name but a part, and call the man a *soul*. We frame our speech upon a different plan, And say "some*body*," when we mean a man. No*body* heeds what every*body* says, And yet how sad the secret it betrays!
