at's in a name? A symbol of reality, All human fame, And God's originality. LXXII. Thou art so neat and trim, So modest and so wise, Such gladness in thine eyes, Thou art a prize--for him, And for the world, I think; So here thy health I drink, O mother Eve's fair daughter, In this good cup of water. LXXIII. All, all thou art Is in thy heart; Thy mind is but a feeder, Thy heart alone the leader, LXXIV. If you want a fellow.
