True pleasaunce is with humble food supplied;

Like shepherd swain, who plucks the brambleberry.

With savoury appetite, from hedge-row briars,

Then drops content on molehills' sunny side;

Proving, thereby, low joys and small desires

Are easiest fed, and soonest satisfied.

The Amulet.


THE GATHERER.

"I am but a Gatherer and disposer of other men's stuff,"—Wotton.
