Merit



Reward of Merit, given to "Eliza" -

O  give me a pleasant and smiling face, -
'T is a sure index of affection within ;
'T will from thy mates and thoughts erase
 Where'er you go new friends you'll win.


Found in "Tom Brown's School Days" by Thomas Hughes. Published by Dodd and Mead, 1900.
