Anne Bradstreet - To Her Father with Some VersesAnne Bradstreet - To Her Father with Some Verses
Work rating: Medium


Most truly honoured, and as truly dear, If worth in me or ought I do appear, Who can of right better demand the same Than may your worthy self from whom it came? The principal might yield a greater sum, Yet handled ill, amounts but to this crumb; My stock`s so small I know not how to pay, My bond remains in force unto this day; Yet for part payment take this simple mite, Where nothing`s to be had, kings loose their right. Such is my debt I may not say forgive, But as I can, I`ll pay it while I live; Such is my bond, none can discharge but I, Yet paying is not paid until I die.
