I can not
see my soul, but
know 'tis there -
Nor ever saw his house, nor
furniture -
Who has invited me with him
to dwell;
But a confiding guest, consult
as well,
What raiment honor him the
most,
That I be adequately dressed -
For he insures to none
Lest men specifical adorn -
Procuring him perpetual drest
By dating it a sudden feast.
