William Blake

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit?

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

511. Song—O aye my wife she dang me

14 lines
Robert Burns·1759–1796·Romanticism
horus—O aye my wife she dang me, An’ aft my wife she bang’d me,If ye gie a woman a’ her will, Gude faith! she’ll soon o’er-gang ye.  ON peace an’ rest my mind was bent, And, fool I was! I married;But never honest man’s intent Sane cursedly miscarried. O aye my wife, &c.  Some sairie comfort at the last, When a’ thir days are done, man,My pains o’ hell on earth is past, I’m sure o’ bliss aboon, man, O aye my wife, &c.
