But if thou hadst, He should have one;
But poor thou art, and known to be
Even as moneyless as He.
Lastly, if thou canst win a kiss
From those mellifluous lips of His;
Then never take a second on,
To spoil the first impression.
Handsel, earnest money.

60. THE NEW-YEAR'S GIFT.
Let others look for pearl and gold,
Tissues, or tabbies manifold:
One only lock of that sweet hay
Whereon the blessed baby lay,
Or one poor swaddling-clout, shall be
The richest New-Year's gift to me.
Tabbies, shot silks.

62. GOD AND THE KING.
How am I bound to Two! God, who doth give
The mind; the king, the means whereby I live.
