Sir Walter Scott



                   Lucy Ashton’s Song


                   Look not thou on beauty’s charming;
                   Sit thou still when kings are arming;
                   Taste not when the wine-cup glistens;
                   Speak not when the people listens;
                   Stop thine ear against the singer;
                   From the red gold keep thy finger;
                   Vacant heart and hand and eye,
                   Easy live and quiet die.
