I gave myself to Him --

I gave Him all myself --[^a1]myself to Him --
And took Himself, for Pay,
The solemn contract of a Life
Was ratified, this way --

[^a1: Him all myself -- | Him all myself --]

The Wealth might disappoint --
Myself a poorer prove
Than this great Purchaser suspect,
The Daily Own -- of Love

Depreciate the Vision --
But till the Merchant buy --
How --[^a2]So --[^a3]Still Fable -- in the Isles of Spice --
The subtle Cargoes -- lie --

[^a2: How -- | How --]

[^a3: So -- | So --]

At least -- 'tis Mutual -- Risk --
Some -- found it -- Mutual Gain --
Sweet Debt of Life -- Each Night to owe --
Insolvent -- every Noon --
