    No longer roseate now, nor soft, nor sweet,
    But pale, and hard, and dry, as stubblewheat,--
    Kept seven years in a drawer, thy titles shame thee.

"For if I wait," said she,
"Till time for roses be,--
For the moss-rose and the musk-rose,
Maiden-blush and royal-dusk rose,--
"What glory then for me
In such a company?--
Roses plenty, roses plenty
And one nightingale for twenty?"
