[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
[If you believed, loud Sir, some decent part]
If
you believed, loud Sir, some decent part
Of all you argue for with so much art,
You would not more convince that black is white,
But wake some interest and respect you might.
