If I should ever by chance...


If I should ever by chance grow rich
I'll buy elephant's, crocodiles, and monkeys,
roses, pygron, and lap-water, 
I think... if I can.
And let them all to my friend as a award.
The rent I shall ask of her will be only
Each year's first violets, white and lonely,
The first primroses and orchises -
She must find them before I do,    that is.
But if she finds a blossom on furze
Without rent they shall all for ever be hers,
Whenever I am sufficiently rich :
I shall give them all to my friend...
