To a Western Boy

Part of the cluster CALAMUS.

TO A WESTERN BOY.

O BOY of the West! To you many things to absorb, I teach, to help you  
 become eleve of mine: Yet if blood like mine circle not in your veins; If you be not silently selected by lovers, and do not  
 silently select lovers, Of what use is it that you seek to become eleve of  
 mine?
