William Cowper

On The High Price Of Fish

Cocoa-nut naught,
Fish too dear,
None must be bought,
For us that are here:

No lobster on earth,
That ever I saw,
To me would be worth
Sixpence a claw.

So dear madam, wait
Till fish can be got
At a reas'nable rate
Whether lobster or not;

Till the French and the Dutch
Have quitted the seas,
And then send as much
And as oft as you please.

A Flower To Auroville Mother-81

Lobster claw(Hanging heliconia
Heliconia rostrata)

But in Nature while others
Rounded, trumpeted, rayed
Else common shapes shaped
Strange how you're all claws

Or say clawed tassles rich
Green and gold and red hues
Wonder heavenly smith whose
Art artly hand did so such

Majeatic you stand elegant
With pendulous painted claws
A lobster a sentinel's part
Amid the plantainlike leaves

You make me proud o'flower
Taller in pride and prestige
Beauteous display all over
Will my garden defy as much?

Robert Burns

Ah, Woe is Me, My Mother Dear

Ah, woe is me, my mother dear!
A man of strife ye’ve born me:
For sair contention I maun bear;
They hate, revile, and scorn me.

I ne’er could lend on bill or band,
That five per cent. might blest me;
And borrowing, on the tither hand,
The deil a ane wad trust me.

Yet I, a coin-denièd wight,
By Fortune quite discarded;
Ye see how I am, day and night,
By lad and lass blackguarded!
