Living

To G. C. and R. L.

by Oliver Goldsmith 1728–1774

From The Complete Poetical Works, ed. Austin Dobson (Oxford, 1906)

Living

’TWAS you, or I, or he, or all together,
’Twas one, both, three of them, they know not whether;
This, I believe, between us great or small,
You, I, he, wrote it not—’twas Churchill’s all.
