 [58] MY SERVANT WAKES ME

servant wakes me: "Master, it is broad day. Rise from bed; I bring you bowl and comb. Winter comes and the morning air is chill; To-day your Honour must not venture abroad." When I stay at home, no one comes to call; What must I do with the long, idle hours? Setting my chair where a faint sunshine falls I have warmed wine and opened my poetry-books. [91]
