Call me not lazy back beggar, and bold enough;
Fain would I learn both to knit and to sew;
I've two little brothers at home,—when they're old enough,
They will work hard for the gifts you bestow.
Pity kind gentlemen, &c.

O think, while you revel so careless and free,
Secure from all harm, both well clothed and fed
Should fortune so change it, how hard it would be,
To beg at a door for a morsel of bread.

ELIZA
From thee, Eliza, I must go,
And from my native shore;
The cruel fates betweeu us throw
A boundless ocean's roar:
But boundless oceans, roaring wide
Between my love and me,
They never, never can divide
My heart and soul from thee.
And from my native shore;

Between my love and me,
