The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/Upon Himself (Mop-eyed I am, as some have said)
For works with similar titles, see Upon Himself.
235. UPON HIMSELF.
Mop-eyed I am, as some have said,
Because I've lived so long a maid:
But grant that I should wedded be,
Should I a jot the better see?
No, I should think that marriage might,
Rather than mend, put out the light.
Mop-eyed, shortsighted.
