So much I give to you with free good-will;

But, O, I fear that more you look for still.

I know, by your stern look and meaning leers,

You want to clap your fingers on my ears.

Right willing, too, you are, as I surmise,

To cast your misty powder in my eyes.

But, O, in mercy spare my little twinklers!

And I will always wear your crystal blinkers.

Then ’bout my ears I’d fain a bargain strike,

And give my hand upon it, if you like.
