Or, scrawled with marks in blatant blue,

To show that, ruined, you have kept them.

If you would pay me with a smile,

I'd write you verses by the mile.

If you could only say that you

Would like me for my admiration,

To sing your charms till all was blue

Would be delightful occupation.

If I could hope to win a kiss,

I'd write you fifty miles like this.
