**-A SHORT POEM-**

When i was one and twenty
I heard a wise man saying
"Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not ur heart away:
Give pearls away and rubies But keep ur fancy free"
But i was one and twenty
No use to talk to me
When i was one and twenty I heard him say again
"The heart out of the bossom Was never given in vain
Tis is paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue"
And i am two and twenty
And oh! it's true,it's true!.
