Classic Poem

Yea , let me be ‘thy bachelere,’
'Tis sweeter than thy lord;
How should I envy him, my dear,
The lamp upon his board.
Still make his little circle bright
With boon of dear domestic light,
While I afar,
Watching his windows in the night,
Worship a star
For which he hath no bolt or bar
Yea, dear,
Thy ‘bachelere.’
