My Muse is fit for any duty.

I love her, stately as a queen

Whom Veronese might have painted,

Blue-eyed, with hair of golden sheen—

That's just the one thing which has been

A trouble since we've been acquainted.

I love not charms I loved before,

Dark as the night, or, say a hearse is.

Now auburn beauty pleases more,

My wasted hours I deplore—
