Quotation.
Where do these lines occur. They have
been running through my head all day, and
| know they are in some poem | have read /
Civ. n. but What This girdle bound
And take the ret the sun goes round
MARY JANE.
The lines are by Edmund Waller, but
they are not quoted correctly. The true
rendering is
Give me but what this ribband bound
Take all the rest the sun goes round"
They are found in his poem "Un Girdle,
one of the finest love songs in the English
language. Waller was born IN 1905, was
member of the Long Parliament and died
in 1887.
