A Woman Scorning Her Lover

by Confucius

Confucius

O dear! that artful boy
Refuses me a word!
But, Sir, I shall enjoy
My food, though you're absurd!
O dear! that artful boy
My table will not share!
But, Sir, I shall enjoy
My rest, though you're not there!

    Loves Farewell
    by Henry David Thoreau
    Light hearted, careless, shall I take my way, When I to thee this being have resigned, Well knowing where upon a future day, With usurer's craft, more than myself to find.
