Take an aspirant to their toil and pain:

Can he endure them?—that 's the point, and not

—Will he? Who would not, rather! Whereupon,

I pleaded far more earnestly for leave

To give myself away, than you to gain

What you called priceless till you gained the heart

And soul and body! which, as beggars serve

Extorted alms, you straightway spat upon.

Not so my husband,—for I gained my suit,

And had my value put at once to proof.
