Part One: Life
CXXXV
|
| IS bliss, then, such abyss | |
| I must not put my foot amiss | |
| For fear I spoil my shoe? | |
| |
| I d rather suit my foot | |
| Than save my boot, | 5 |
| For yet to buy another pair | |
| Is possible | |
| At any fair. | |
| |
| But bliss is sold just once; | |
| The patent lost | 10 |
| None buy it any more. | |
