I asked a Thief

字號(hào):


     I askèd a thief to steal me a peach:
     He turnèd up his eyes.
     I ask'd a lithe lady to lie her down:
     Holy and meek, she cries.
     As soon as I went
     An Angel came:
     He wink'd at the thief,
     And smil'd at the dame;
     And without one word said
     Had a peach from the tree,
     And still as a maid
     Enjoy'd the lady.
