The lowest trees have tops, the ant her gall,

the fly her spleen, the little spark his heat;

And bees have stings although they be not great;

And love is love in beggars and in kings.

Where waters smoothest run deep are the fords;
The dial stirs, yet none perceives it move;
The firmest faith is in the fewest words;
The turtles cannot sing and yet they love,
True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak;
They hear and see and sigh, and then they break.
