Love
Quarrel
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
Man. Work on marble shall not be,
Lady fair! the work for me:
For which reason you and I
May together say good -bye.
Lady. Say of marble what you will,
Work on sand is vainer still:
For which reason I and you
Very wisely say adieu.
