Plums


Two plums, two honey-dews, or two blank sheets
  1
Remind to me one past-inviting pair
Which breath'd above one woman's ribs, with teats!
Which never-more before me will be bare.


But, barring this I hold no gripe with God:
  5
He has been often generous else-ways;
I'm fed and trotted, bath'd and bunk'd and shod,
And beauty deign'd twice grace my groundling gaze.
