While—how can you have missed a score like me

With money and no wit, precisely each

A pupil for your purpose, were it—ease

Fool's poke of tutor's honorarium-fee?

And yet, howe'er it came about, I felt

At once my master: you as prompt descried

Your man, warrant, so was bargain struck.

Now, these same lines of liking, loving, run

Sometimes so close together they converge—

Life's great adventures—you know what I mean—
