For I triumph spite of all my woes.

Now, that I’ve made my vow,

Who[34] comes to help me keep it?

Are the saints that preach asleep or dead?

Ripe is the harvest now,

Yet comes there none to reap it.

Not a cent![35] no home; no crust of bread.

Fie,[36] upon hearts so cold!

Not one will deign to aid me;

And my own sex turn[37] me off with scorn;
