XXXI. Except the heaven had come so near, So seemed to choose my door, The distance would not haunt me so; I had not hoped before. But just to hear the grace depart I never thought to see, Afflicts me with a double loss; 'T is lost, and lost to me. THIRTY ONE EXCEPT THE HEAVEN HAD COME SO NEAR SO SEEM TO CHOOSE MY DOOR THE DISTANCE WOULD NOT HAUNT ME SO I HAD NOT HOPED BEFORE BUT JUST TO HEAR THE GRACE DEPART I NEVER THOUGHT TO SEE AFFLICTS ME WITH A DOUBLE LOSS TIS LOST AND LOST TO ME
rd, But just a crumb to me; I dare not eat it, though I starve, -- My poignant luxury To own it, touch it, prove the feat That made the pellet mine, -- Too happy in my sparrow chance For ampler coveting. It might be famine all around, I could not miss an ear, Such plenty smiles upon my board, My garner shows so fair. I wonder how the rich may feel, -- An Indiaman -- an Earl? I deem that I with but a crumb Am sovereign of them all. XXVIII. Experiment to me Is every one I meet. If it contain a kernel? The figure of a nut Presents upon a tree, Equally plausibly; But meat within is requisite, To squirrels and to me. XXIX. MY COUNTRY'S WARDROBE. My country need not change her gown, Her triple suit as sweet As when 't was cut at Lexington, And first pronounced "a fit." Great Britain disapproves "the stars;" Disparagement discreet, -- There 's something in their attitude That taunts her bayonet. XXX. Faith is a fine invention For gentlemen who see; But microscopes are prudent In an emergency! EVEN ENOUGH GOD GAVE A LOAF TO EVERY BIRD BUT JUST A CRUMB TO ME I DARE NOT EAT IT THOUGH I STARVE MY POIGNANT LUXURY TO OWN IT TOUCH IT PROVE THE FEAT THAT MADE THE PELLET MINE TOO HAPPY IN MY SPARROW CHANCE FOR AMPLER COVETING IT MIGHT BE FAMINE ALL ROUND I COULD NOT MISS AN EAR SUCH PLENTY SMILES UPON MY BOARD MY GARNER SHOWS SO FAIR I WONDER HOW THE RICH MAY FEEL AN INDIAMAN AN EARL I DEEM THAT I WITH BUT A CRUMB AM SOVEREIGN OF THEM ALL TWENTY EIGHT EXPERIMENT TO ME IS EVERY ONE I MEET IF IT CONTAIN A KERNEL THE FIGURE OF A NUT PRESENTS UPON A TREE EQUALLY PLAUSIBLY BUT MEET WITHIN ITS REQUISITE TO SQUIRRELS AND TO ME TWENTY NINE MY COUNTRY'S WARDROBE MY COUNTRY NEED NOT CHANGE HER GOWN HER TRIPLE SUIT AS SWEET AS WHEN TWAS CUT AT LEXINGTON AND FIRST PRONOUNCED A FIT GREAT BRITAIN DISAPPROVES THE STARS DISPARAGEMENT DISCREET THERE'S SOMETHING IN THEIR ATTITUDE THAT TAUNTS HER BAYONET THIRTY FAITH IS A FINE INVENTION FOR GENTLEMEN WHO SEE BUT MICROSCOPES ARE PRUDENT IN AN EMERGENCY
