(O.E.D.)

And here's to you my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy !

[Tom Paxton]

To walk is by a thought to go;

To move in spirit to and fro;

To mind the good we see;

To taste the sweet;

Observing all the things we meet

How choice and rich they be.

[Thomas Traherne (1637-1674)]
