A HOUSE begins to be a Ruin, when
A Fallen Tile is not put back again.

A GROWTH of Ivy beautifies a Wall;
An Overgrowth will make the Coping fall.

The Storm abates where Walls are Weatherproof;
The Deluge pours upon the Leaky Roof.

T O Build the House may not be your Affair,
But you can Keep the House in Good Repair.

D RAW Good from Ill: In Days of Storm
A House of Snow will keep you warm.
