[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
[How argue from effects? Whate'er you do]
How
argue from effects? Whate'er you do,
Least part of its effect comes into view.
Who simply acts from conscience pure and true,
Finds nothing in the consequence to rue.
