Chapter 174 No.174

Your riches taught me poverty.

Myself a millionnaire

In little wealths, - as girls could boast, -

Till broad as Buenos Ayre,

You drifted your dominions

A different Peru;

And I esteemed all poverty,

For life's estate with you.

Of mines I little know, myself,

But just the names of gems, -

The colors of the commonest;
