Part of The Miller's Daughter
I see the wealthy miller yet—
His double chin—his portly size;
And who that knew him could forget
The husy wrinkles round his eyes,
The slow wise smile, that, round about
His dusty forehead drily curled,
Seemed half-within, and half-without,
And full of dealings with the world?
