- | |
Although I put away his life | B |
An Ornament too grand | C |
For Forehead low as mine to wear | D |
This might have been the Hand | C |
- | |
That sowed the flower he preferred | E |
Or smoothed a homely pain | F |
Or pushed the pebble from his path | G |
Or played his chosen tune | H |
- | |
On Lute the least the latest | I |
But just his Ear could know | J |
That whatsoe'er delighted it | K |
I never would let go | J |
- | |
The foot to bear his errand | L |
A little Boot I know | J |
Would leap abroad like Antelope | M |
With just the grant to do | N |
- | |
His weariest Commandment | O |
A sweeter to obey | P |
Than Hide and Seek | Q |
Or skip to Flutes | R |
Or all Day chase the Bee | S |
- | |
Your Servant Sir will weary | S |
The Surgeon will not come | T |
The World will have its own to do | N |
The Dust will vex your Fame | U |
- | |
The Cold will force your tightest door | V |
Some February Day | P |
But say my apron bring the sticks | W |
To make your Cottage gay | P |
- | |
That I may take that promise | X |
To Paradise with me | S |
To teach the Angels avarice | X |
You Sir taught first to me | S |
