I asked no other thing,

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?”

Sunset in Brazilian Red 

I asked no other thing,
No other was denied.
I offered my Life for it;
The stout merchant smiled.

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

* “Brazil” means Brazilian Red Color, though very expensive, to which Emily Adhered.
