I asked no other thing,
No other was denied.
I offered Being for it;
The mighty merchant smiled.

Brazil? He twirled a button,
Without a glance my way:
“But, madam, is there nothing else
That we can show to-day?”

Emily is said to have carried a pencil and scraps of paper in her pocket in order to always be prepared when a poem came her way.
