Excerpt from Voyage of Ass: A Tale of Love and Adventure in Old London, the Stanza Being That of the Cherrie and the Slae
Ass laughed, I have watched thee before, That art more lovely than thy store, But never in such rays. Though starven to the pit in thee, My everlasting heart goes free As are thy Virelays. For who would lose a finer thing Than king or pope bestows, By fear of man's outrageous sting The thorn still guards the rose. 0 city sans pity, I love thee 'yond my peers Stern physic sends music Into an ass's ears.
