I have houses newly builded,
Bright with paint and newly gilded.
They will be for rent in Spring —
Who will come a-tenanting?
They are in a choice location,
Beautiful for situation.
Sheltering branches round them play,
Turning breath of March to May.
Houses mine, just made for pleasure
Unalloyed, and without measure.
Who the homes I offer take.
Shall be blessed for Love's sweet sake.
These alone are my conditions:
All my tenants are musicians,
And the songs they sweetly sing
Are the only pay they bring.
