Wouldst claim them both together?
Wouldst temper thus the sweet
and merry view we have of you
and melt it in the heat?
O, eagle, fly unfettered!
Deny the irons' claim!
Draw that which office offers you
and sign your honored name,
then place the pen upon the table,
leave the paint to dry and set,
and wander midst the sunlight idle
bright companions, newly met
The flowers of the Cheapside,
in blossomed, shared joy, drenched,
That when the hours draw to the dusk
you find your fire quenched.
