My needs are very few: my wants are great.
I know my necessaries, and obtain
Them in abundance, but I hesitate
To say I get my wants, because I gain
In my desires every single day.
Unlike my needs, my wants increase forever:
I see a new thing and I want to play,
Which makes obtaining them a fool's endeavour,
Because they do not wane, but only wax.
Still I attempt it, but do not despair
When my achievement of it is but lax,
Since wants will never be my major care.
So long as I have you, and I can live,
I have all that I need the world to give.
