Part 6

All discontent thus to remove, What monarch boasts but thou and I? In this content we live and love, And in this love resolve to die:

That when, our souls together fled, One urn shall our mix'd dust enshrine, In golden numbers may be read "Here lie Content's late King and Queen."

J. PAULIN.

_L'ENVOI._

_WITH faith unfeigned and constant heart Still worship at Love's shrine: Love's votaries ne'er feel any smart, Nor at their yoke repine._

_Your lady kind shall multiply Her kisses without measure; Your days will slide unclouded by, Your nights be crowned with pleasure._

_Love one, one only: if you stray, By random fires beguiled, In vain for grace you'll plead and pray, From Love's sweet court exiled._

Transcriber's Notes

Variations in spelling, punctuation and hyphenation have been retained except in obvious cases of typographical errors.

In "I HAVE followed thee a year at least" (p107) the first line of the last verse ends with "arc". This has been changed to "are"

A missing footnote anchor [19] has been added to "UNDERNEATH this myrtle shade" (p 26).

Italics are shown thus _italic_.
