Love too will sink and die.
But love is subtle, and doth proof derive
From her own life that Hope is YET alive;
And bending DER with soul transfIsing eyes,
And the soft murmurs Of The mother I'VE,
W"os back the fleeing spirit, and half supplies;
Thus Love rcpays to Hope what Hope first gave
to Love.
Yet hapy there will come weary day,
When overtaskcd at length
Both Love and Hope beneath the load gave way,
Then with a statues smile, a statues strength,
Stands the mute sister. Patience, nothing 10th,
And both supporting does the work Of both.
