The Poem is from Poor Robin's Almanack, 1701. Poor Robin was an English 17th and 18th-century satirical almanac series, appearing as Poor Robin's Almanack from 1663. Other similar writings by the pseudonymous Poor Robin were published later, in America and into the 19th century.


Grant Dahlstrom bought the Castle Press in Pasadena, and for the next thirty-seven years produced many handsome books for the Book Club of California, the Huntington Library, The Sacramento Book Collectors Club, Dawson's Book Shop, Jake Zeitlin, and many others. In 1931, he helped to found the Rounce & Coffin Club and was also active in the Zamorano Club, printing the Club's newsletter, Hoja Volante.

H. Richard Archer (1911-1978) was the former custodian and director of the Rare Book Collection at Chapin Library at Williams College
