Last Line: The quarelets of pearl.
Variant Title(s): The Rock Of Rubies, And The Quarries Of Pearls

Some asked me where the Rubies grew?
And nothing I did say:
But with my finger pointed to
The lips of Julia.
Some ask'd how Pearls did grow, and where?
Then spoke I to my Girle,
To part her lips, and shew'd them there
The Quarelets of Pearl.
