COMPLAINTS OF THE POOR
By HoBter Southey
And wherefore do the poor complain ?
The rich man ask’d of me : —
Come walk abroad yith me I said
And I will answcrthee
’Twas evening and thefrozen street
Were cheerless to behold
And we were wrapt and coated well
And yet we were a-cold
-We met an old bare-headed man
His locks were few and white j
I ask’d him what lie did abroad
In that cold winter night
’Twas bitter keen indeed lie Said
But at home no fire had he
And therefore lie had come abroad
To ask for charity
We met a voung bare-footed child
And she beg'd loud and bold
I ask’d her w hat she did abroad
When the wind blew so cold !
She said her father was at home
And he lay sick a bed
And therefore was it she was sent
Abroad to beg her bread
We saw a woman sitting dow n
Upon a stone to rest
Sue had a baby at her back
Another at her breast
I ask’d her why she loiter’d there
When the wind was so chill I
She turn’d her head and bade the child
That scream’d behind be still
She told ns that her husband serv’d
A soldier far away
And thJrefore to her parish she
Was begging back her way
We met a gil l her dress was loose
And sunken was her eye ?
Who with the wanton’s hollow voice
Address’d the passers by
I ask’d her what there was in guilt
That could her heart allure
To shame disease and late remorse ?
She answer’d she was poor
X turn’d me to the rich man then
For silently stood he
You ask'd me why tire poor complain
And these have answer’d thee

With tbefe thoughts in my head
I alighted from my horfe and at
once became fo enamoured with
your ladylhip that 1 told my paffion
to every tree in the park ! and by
the by they are the tailed llraighteft
lovelied fined diaped trees 1 ever
beheld in my life
I now appeal to your ladyfhip
whether any lover was ever influ
enced with more folid motives than
your devoted humble fervant —
T hofe who are wholly captivated by
beauty will infallibly find their pai
fion decay with thofe tranfitory
charms that fird attracted their re
gird and thofe who pretend to ad
mire a woman merely for the quali
ties of her mind mud confider her
foul as abftradted from her body
but he who loves not a woman in
the flelh as well as in the fpirit is
only fit in my opinion to make love
to a fpedtre whereas my paffion the
fincerity of which you cannot poffi
bly doubt is built on the fame foun
dation with your houfe grows with
your trees and will daily increaft
with your edate
For any thing I know to the con
trary you may be the handfomed
woman in the kingdom but wheibe
you are fo or not lignifies little
while you have fortune enough to
fix my affe6lion I am a foldier by
profeffion and as I have fought for
pay by heaven’s bleffing I mean to
love for money !
All your other fuitors would fpeak
the fame language if they were e
qually honed andfliould you favour
this blunt addrefs by making choice
of me I can add for your comfort
that you will be the fird woman up
on record from the creation to the pr
efent hour who everloved a man for
telling her the truth
