me sends her a new part. ON WORSTED WORK. So all-absorbing grows my taste for wool, That, like the sheep, I cry a whole bag full Dates now but take their impress from my work, Empires may fall—I care but for the Turk!Spare but the ottoman, I beg, I pray ; Divans and ottomans must have their sway;Immortal Cowper! thine was not a Task To muse on sofas; tis a boon I ask—Chairs, couches, covers, all-inspiring themes, With cushions to be worked they mingle in my dreams.Then as my needle plies its busy hour, Those I love I blend with every flower.Imagination weaves those buds so fair Into a bridal wreath for Minnies hair;That wreath of laurel, of unfading hue, Brings one, the loved and lost, again to view.This graceful ivy twining round my hand, The cherished tendril of my native land ;And last, this bunch, forget-me-not, the name All that I covet on the page of fame.
