الصفحة 84 - At the devil's booth are all things sold, Each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold; For a cap and bells our lives we pay, Bubbles we buy with a whole soul's tasking: 'Tis heaven alone that is given away, Tis only God may be had for the asking; 30 ^ /No price is set on the lavish summer; June may be had by the poorest comer.
