STill I'm Wishing, still desiring,
Still She's giving, I requiring ;
Yet each Gift I think too small,
Still the more I am presented,
Still the less I am contented ;
Tho' she Vows she has given me all.
Can Drusilla give no more ?
Has she Lavish'd all her Store ?
Must my Hopes to Nothing fall ?
Oh you know not half your Treasure ;
Give me more, give over Measure,
Yet you can never, never give me all.
