YES OR NO.

When of man | ask question,
wish he d answer Yes or No,
Nor stop to make some smooth evasion,
And only tell me-may be so.
J always doubt the friendly meaning
0f-uOeH-perhaps-IdO not knozc---
When for favor am suing;
I'd rather hear the answer-No.
When of a friend wish to borrow
A little cash--to hear him say,
S'pe none to-day-bm on to-morrow--
Is worse than if he told me nay.
Why all this need of plastering over,
What we in fact intend to show'
Why not at once, with much less labor,
Say frankly Yes, my friend, or MOI
I from my soul despise all quibbling,
Phi use it not with friend or foe
But when they ask, without assembling,
1'll plainly answer Yes, or No.
and when ask that trembling question.
"WM you be mine, my dearest Mss go
Then may there be no hesitation,
To say distinctly-YEs, SIR, YES.
