The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse — A Candle

inglés

There is a thing which in the light
Is seldom us'd; but in the night
It serves the maiden female crew,
The ladies, and the good-wives too.
They use to take it in their hand,5
And then it will uprightly stand;
And to a hole they it apply,
Where by its good-will it would die:
It spends, goes out, and still within
It leaves its moisture thick and thin.10
