| <BLOCKQUOTE>Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain<BR> | |
| Full character'd with lasting memory,<BR> | |
| Which shall above that idle rank remain<BR> | |
| Beyond all date, even to eternity;<BR> | |
| Or at the least, so long as brain and heart<BR> | |
| Have faculty by nature to subsist;<BR> | |
| Till each to razed oblivion yield his part<BR> | |
| Of thee, thy record never can be miss'd.<BR> | |
| That poor retention could not so much hold,<BR> | |
| Nor need I tallies thy dear love to score;<BR> | |
| Therefore to give them from me was I bold,<BR> | |
| To trust those tables that receive thee more:<BR> | |
| To keep an adjunct to remember thee<BR> | |
| Were to import forgetfulness in me.<BR> | |
