All in a dusky City

Callow and wan, so tun’st thou on

High anthem and soft ditty?

Scarce thine the mood and attitude

Waking a captive’s pity!

What reckest thou if leafy bough

Or plaster palanquin thee!

Howe’er thou yearn for the Noons that burn

Not gloom nor bars may win thee

From the clear Joy pure of alloy
