What liberty is mine—what sweet release

From clamourous strife, and yet, what boisterous peace!

Ho! ho! It is thy fancy's finger tip

That dints the dimple now, and kinks the lip

That scarce may sing in all this glad increase

Of merriment! So, pray thee, do not cease

To cheer me thus, for underneath the quip

Of thy droll sorcery the wrangling fret

Of all distress is still. No syllable

Of sorrow vexeth me, no tear drops wet
