I never told the buried gold
|
I never told the buried gold Upon the hill -- that lies -- I saw the sun -- his plunder done Crouch low to guard his prize. He stood as near As stood you here -- A pace had been between -- Did but a snake bisect the brake My life had forfeit been. That was a wondrous booty -- I hope 'twas honest gained. Those were the fairest ingots That ever kissed the spade! Whether to keep the secret -- Whether to reveal -- Whether as I ponder Kidd will sudden sail -- Could a shrewd advise me We might e'en divide -- Should a shrewd betray me -- Atropos decide! |
