That Jealousy may rule a mind
Where Love could never be
I know; but ne'er expect to find
Love without Jealousy.
She has a strange cast in her ee,
A swart sour-visaged maid —
But yet Love's own twin-sister she
His house-mate and his shade.
Ask for her and she'll be denied:—
What then? they only mean
Their mistress has lain down to sleep,
And can n't just then be seen.
