Humility
What girl but, having gathered flowers, Stript the beds and spoilt the bowers, From the lapful light she carries Drops a careless bud? nor tarries To regain the waif and stray: Store enough for home shell say. So say I too: give your lover Heaps of loving, under, over, Whelm him, make the one the wealthy! Am I all so poor who, stealthy Work it was! picked up what fell: Not the worst bud, who can tell?
