Pearls
Rubies
http://www.rocas.com.mt/data/rubies.jpg
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
'Give crowns and pounds and
guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.'
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
'The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
'Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.'
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
