A LITTLE Saint best fits a little shrine, A little prop best fits a little vine, As my small cruse best fits my little wine A little seed best fits a little soil, A little trade best fits a little toil: As my small jar best fits my little oil. A little bin best fits a little bread, A little garland fits a little head: As my small stuff best fits my little shed. A little hearth best fits a little fire, A little chapel fits a little choir, As my small bell best fits my little spire. A little stream best fits a little boat; A little lead best fits a little float; As my small pipe best fits my little note. A little meat best fits a little belly, As sweetly, Lady, give me leave to tell ye, This little pipkin fits this little jelly. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPISTLE TO MR.
