I cut\n It down, then boiled, and from the fibers span\n Of cloth, both fine and coarse, large store,\n To wear, unwearied of such simple dress.\n3Now back to my old home, my parents dear\n To see, I go. The matron I have told,\n Who will announcement make. Meanwhile my clothes,\n My private clothes I wash, and rinse my robes.\n Which of them need be rinsed? and which need not?\n My parents dear to visit, back I go.","title":"The Book of Poetry: Book I.
