Athletium. The youth was very pleasant to look upon, and spoke a strangely beautiful language, so said the Lord Chancellor. But the prince beside himself with rage, ordered that the youth should be put to death at once, and that his daughter should be shut up in a dungeon until he should see fit to release her. This cruel order and the stranger youth from Athletium the Lord Chancellor reluctantly executed. The princess overcome with grief put an end to her own life.
Here is the verse from the immortal poet:
Of the beautiful language which the stranger youth taught the princess, only a few fragments remain, carefully preserved among the archives of Auronia-a verse from some immortal poet of the far country of Athletium, and eight goodly proverbs, all in the beautiful princess' own hand writing.
Let the two base hits from home runs refrain.
Let the two base hits from home runs refrain,
And beware least they fumble the grounders again.
For though high flies should block the line drives of the plate.
And the passed balls of bases wild pitches await,
You may bet, you may bunt a foul ball if you will,
Yet the balks of the infield will steal a base still.
And here are the eight goodly proverbs:
1. You may lead a man to the plate but you cannot make him bat.
2. Well run is half done.
3. Pride goeth before a foul.
4. One three bagger does not make an inning.
5. A ball in the hand is worth three in the bush.
6. A rolling catcher gathers no applause.
7. Umpires never hear any good of themselves.
8. Little pitchers have big ears. G.H.B.
