    I think, whatever mortals crave,
    With impotent endeavor,
    A wreath--a rank--a throne--a grave--
    The world goes round forever;
    I think that life is not too long,
    And therefore I determine,
    That many people read a song,
    Who will not read a sermon.

She makes her hand hard with labour, and her heart soft with
pity: and when winter evenings fall early (sitting at her merry
wheel), she sings a defiance to the giddy wheel of
fortune . . . and fears no manner of ill because she means none.

Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction

Now, good Cesario, but that piece of song,
That old and antique song we heard last night.

More than light airs and recollected terms
Of these most brisk and giddy-paced times.
Come, but one verse.
