    may have in the future. The one is sure and the other is not.
    [Fr., Un tiens vaut, ce dit-on, mieux que deux tu l'auras.
    L'un est sur, l'autre ne l'est pas.]

Ah, yet, e'er I descend to th' grave,
May I a small House and a large Garden have.
And a few Friends, and many Books both true,
Both wise, and both delightful too.
And since Love ne'er will from me flee,
A mistress moderately fair,
And good as Guardian angels are,
Only belov'd and loving me.
