You 'll find, where'er you roam,
That marble floors and gilded walls

The very subtlest one, say I,
Is when for the first time he sees
His hearthfire smoke against the sky.

I had to give my house a name.

Or "As You Like it," "If You Please,"
Or "Nicotine" or "Bread and Cheese,"
"Full Moon," or "Doors Ajar."
