[A base and selfish discontent]
[Give us all under, and above, the Moon]
[How different is the life within our breast]
[O heroes, ye comfort my brotherly heart!]
[When the vile and the noble he juggles to mix]
[I do not show]
[That base curmudgeon who in Nelson's stead]
[Berries, and also seeds]
[Good Reader, were I but in Greek]
[One or two at a time]

Blackberries
[Would you treat all you meet as brothers and sisters?]
Would
you treat all you meet as brothers and sisters?
Nay, nay, hold away! much touch raises blisters.
Keep place, leave space, beware of too-near;
To each orb, each unit, its atmosphere.
