William Cowper - To My Cousin, Anne Bodham, On Receiving From Her A Network Purse, Made By HerselfWilliam Cowper - To My Cousin, Anne Bodham, On Receiving From Her A Network Purse, Made By Herself
Work rating: Low


My gentle Anne, whom heretofore, When I was young, and thou no more Than plaything for a nurse, I danced and fondled on my knee, A kitten both in size and glee,-- I thank thee for my purse. Gold pays the worth of all things here But not of love; -- that gem`s too dear For richest rogues to win it; I, therefore, as a proof of love, Esteem thy present far above The best things kept within it.
