30. Hope Deferred -
" WHAT , fifty pounds!" you said to me,
" Take it of course — a gift you know."
Ah, tenfold more my debt should be
If deed had followed word — but no,
You waited month on month, and though
At last you gave it me, 'tis sad
That gratitude died long ago,
And you are fifty to the bad.

And you are fifty to the bad.
