WITH A MIRROR

Carved by a swarthy knave

Close by the Adrian wave

Came I to being.

To me a soul he gave,

In gold he did me lave,

To suit your seeing.

Mine is a pleasant life,

Jove bless his flashing knife,

Who wrought my living.

For me nor care nor strife,

Joys in my days are rife,

Joys of your giving.
