I loved a lass, a fair one,
As fair as e'er was seen;
She was indeed a rare one,
Another Sheba queen:

I thought she loved me too:
But now, alas! she's left me,
Falero, lero, loo!George Wither

And careless damned your soul to Hell,
I might have laughed and loved afresh,
And loved as lightly and as well,
And little more to tell.Vita Sackville-West
