A PRETTY WOMAN.

9.
As,—why must one, for the love forgone,
Scout mere liking?
Thunder-striking
Earth,—the heaven, we looked above for, gone!

10.
Why with beauty, needs there money be—
Love with liking?
Crush the fly-king
In his gauze, because no honey bee?

11.
May not liking be so simple-sweet,
If love grew there
'Twould undo there
All that breaks the cheek to dimples sweet?
