| 134. The Petition |
| OH, tell me less or tell me more, | |
| Soft eyes with mystery at the core, | |
| That always seem to meet my own | |
| Frankly as pansies fully grown, | |
| Yet waver still 'tween no and yes! | 5 |
| So swift to cavil and deny, | |
| Then parley with concessions shy, | |
| Dear eyes, that make their youth be mine | |
| And through my inmost shadows shine, | |
| Oh, tell me more or tell me less! | 10 |
