THE BALANCE by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: THE BODY SAID TO THE SOUL ONE DAY
Last Line: "I HAVE DUSTED YOUR CONSCIENCE. CALL IT QUITS!"
Subject(s): MORTALITY; SOUL;
THE Body said to the Soul one day,
"Here's the bill of your board and lodging. Pay!"
Said the Soul, "Though I fared on broken bits,
I have dusted your conscience. Call it quits!"
