    Work thou for pleasure--paint or sing or carve
    The thing thou lovest, though the body starve--
    Who works for glory misses oft the goal;
    Who works for money coins his very soul.
    Work for the work's sake, then, and it may be
    That these things shall be added unto thee.

When Darby saw the setting sun
He swung his scythe, and home he run,
Sat down, drank off his quart and said,
"My work is done, I'll go to bed."

"My work is done! Your constant tone,
But hapless woman ne'er can say
'My work is done' till judgment day."
