“Some have too much, yet still do crave;
I little have, and seek no more.
They are but poor, though much they have,
And I am rich with little store.
They poor, I rich; they beg, I give;
They lack, I leave; they pine, I live.”
—Sir Edward Dyer (c. 1540–1607)

A little shoe-house—
That little old woman was
Surely a mouse!”
