When I was one-and-twenty,
I heard a wise man say,
Give pounds and crowns and guineas,
But not your heart away.”
Give pearls away and rubies,
But keep your fancy free.”
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
Great short quote and quotation by: A.E. Houseman ,
crowns, fancy, guineas, heard, heart, pearls, pounds, rubies, twenty
