Читать книгу The Collected Works - William Cowper - Страница 100

I am just two and two, I am warm, I am cold,

And the parent of numbers that cannot be told,

I am lawful, unlawful—a duty, a fault,

I am often sold dear—good for nothing when bought,

An extraordinary boon, and a matter of course,

And yielded with pleasure—when taken by force.

W. C.
