ALADDIN
When I was a beggarly boy,
And lived in a cellar damp,
had not n friend or toy,
But had Aladdin's lamp;
When I could not sleep for cold,
1 had fire enough in my BRAIN
And builded with roofs of gold,
My beautiful castles in Spain!
Since then I have toiled day and night,
I have money and power good store,
But I'd give all my lamps of silver bright,
For the one that is mine no more;
Take, Fortune, whatever you choose,
You gave, and may snatch again;
/ have nothing 'twOuld pain me to lose,
For I own no more castles in Spain!
