On others wasting all her charming store;

Yet I lack nothing now which could adorn me—

For Psyche loves me! Could I ask for more?

I have no learning—in nor school nor college

Could I abide o’er quaint old tomes to pore;

But this I know which passeth all your knowledge—

That Psyche loves me! Could I ask for more?

Now come what may, or loss or shame or sorrow,

Sickness, ingratitude or treachery sore,

I laugh to-day and heed not for the morrow—
