So All My Best Is

I Will Do Anything, Nerissa, Ere I'll Be Married To A Sponge.

Dumb Jewels Often, In Their Silent Kind, More Than Quick Words, Do Move A Woman's Mind.

But Pearls Are Fair; And The Old Saying Is: Black Men Are Pearls In Beauteous Ladies' Eyes.

My Age Is As A Lusty Winter, Frosty But Kindly.

O The World Is But A Word; Were It All Yours To Give It In A Breath, How Quickly Were It Gone!
