Chapter I: Part I: His Parentage and True Descent

"Who bids for the little children--
Body and soul and brain?
Who bids for the little children--
Young and without a stain?
'Will no one bid,' said England,
'For their souls so pure and white,
Aad fit for all good or evil
The world on their pages may write?'"
