Only from him expect acknowledgment,

The while he champs my gift, a thistle-bunch,

How much he loves the largess: of his love

I only tolerate so much as tells

By wrinkling nose and inarticulate grunt,

The meal, that heartens him to do my work,

Tickles his palate as I meant it should."


Not with my Soul, Love!—bid no soul like mine

Lap thee around nor leave the poor Sense room!
