In the days of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star.Alas, things ain't what we should see If Eve had let that apple be; And many a feller which had ought To set with monarchses of thought, Or play some rosy little game With battle-chaps on fields of fame, Is downed by his unlucky star And hollers: "Peanuts! --here you are!" --"The Sturdy Beggar"
