"God and the glory! never care for gain;
The present by the future, what is that?
Live for fame, side by side with Agnolo!
Rafael is waiting: up to God, all three!"
I might have done it for you. So it seems;
Perhaps not. All is as God overrules.

_Andrea Del Sarto._


All women love great men
If young or old; it is in all the tales;
Young beauties love old poets who can love--
* * * * *
Who was a queen and loved a poet once
Humpbacked, a dwarf? ah, women can do that!

_In a Balcony._


For women
There is no good of life but love--but love!
What else looks good, is some shade flung from love;
Love gilds it, gives it worth. Be warned by me.
Never you cheat yourself one instant! Love,
Give love, ask only love, and leave the rest!
