What would I give to see his face? I'd give - I'd give my life - of course - But that is not enough! Stop just a minute - let me think! I'd give my biggest Bobolink! That makes two - Him - and Life! You know who "June" is - I'd give her - Roses a day from Zenzibar - And Lily tubes - like Wells - Bees - by the furlong - Straits of Blue Navies of Butterflies - sailed thro' - And dappled Cowslip Dells - Then I have "shares" in Primrose "Banks" - Daffodil Dowries - spicy "Stocks" - Dominions - broad as Dew - Bags of Doubloons - adventurous Bees Brought me - from firmamental seas - And Purple - from Peru -
Now - have I bought it - "Shylock"? Say! Sign me the Bond! "I vow to pay To Her - who pledges this - One hour - of her Sovereign's face"! Extatic Contract! Niggard Grace! My Kingdom's worth of Bliss!
