			  From the far Lavinian shore, I your markets come to store; Muse not, though so far I dwell, And my wares come here to sell; Such is the sacred hunger for gold. Then come to my pack, While I cry "What d'ye lack, What d'ye buy? For here it is to be sold." I have beauty, honour, grace, Fortune, favour, time, and place, And what else thou would'st request, E'en the thing thou likest best; First, let me have but a touch of your gold. Then, come to me, lad, Thou shalt have What thy dad Never gave; For here it is to be sold. Madam, come, see what you lack, I've complexions in my pack; White and red you may have in this place, To hide your old and wrinkled face. First, let me have but a touch of your gold, Then you shall seem Like a girl of fifteen, Although you be threescore and ten years old. |  |
