Throughout his quaint devising. Why prefer,

Except for love's sake, that a blade should writhe

And bicker like a flame?—now play the scythe

As if some broad neck tempted,—now contract

And needle off into a fineness lacked

For just that puncture which the heart demands?

Then, such adornment! Wherefore need our hands

Enclose not ivory alone, nor gold

Roughened for use, but jewels? Nay, behold!

Fancy my favorite—which I seem to grasp
