   1   
   [Eternity]   
   HE who bends to himself a Joy	   
   Doth the wingèd life destroy;	   
   But he who kisses the Joy as it flies	   
   Lives in Eternity’s sunrise.	   
      
   2   
   The look of love alarms,	   
   Because it’s fill’d with fire;	   
   But the look of soft deceit	   
   Shall win the lover’s hire.	   
      
   3   
   Soft deceit and idleness,	   
   These are Beauty’s sweetest dress.

   What is it men in women do require?	   
   The lineaments of gratified desire.

   An ancient Proverb   
   Remove away that black’ning church,	   
   Remove away that marriage hearse,	   
   Remove away that man of blood—	   
   You’ll quite remove the ancient curse.
