Not at Home

That Jealousy may rule a mind

       &nbspWhere Love could never be

I know; but ne'er expect to find

       &nbspLove without Jealousy.



She has a strange cast in her ee,

       &nbspA swart sour-visaged maid—

But yet Love's own twin-sister she

       &nbspHis house-mate and his shade.



Ask for her and she'll be denied:—

       &nbspWhat then? they only mean

Their mistress has lain down to sleep,

       &nbspAnd can't just then be seen.
