Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - With A Golden Necklace
Work rating: Low

THIS page a chain to bring thee burns,

That, train`d to suppleness of old,
On thy fair neck to nestle, yearns,

In many a hundred little fold.

To please the silly thing consent!

`Tis harmless, and from boldness free;
By day a trifling ornament,

At night `tis cast aside by thee.

But if the chain they bring thee ever,

Heavier, more fraught with weal or woe,
I`d then, Lisette, reproach thee never

If thou shouldst greater scruples show.
