Ask nothing more of me, sweet;
All I can give you I give.
Heart of my heart, were it more,
More would be laid at your feet—
Love that should help you to live,
Song that should spur you to soar.
All things were nothing to give,
These lines are quoted by Buck Mulligan in the first episode of James Joyce’s  Ulysses , “Telemachus”.
