,,.,, AMMO THE CHARGE OF HAVING CHANGED,
Talk no, of change Love knows no change,
The constant heart, how canst thou wrong
Mo aarth.born influence can estrange,
The soul that's bound by ties so strong.
And gen tho Pride, with cold disdain,
Should trample on the faithful heart,
Yet unsubued, II will retain
Its pristine fame, till life depart.
No s,eadfast passion warns tho breast
No genuine feelings ser can glow,
Where all emotion Is at rest
Except where praise and hatt'ry flow.
With bighting hand, Time cannot cast
Its ruin DER the constant heart:
Nor even Fate's relentless blast
Bid the last cherished hope depart
All no Tho darkness gathers DER,
Zen the faint glimmering ray thats left-
Tho doom'd an exile e2ermore-
OF all ! once enjoyed, beref-
Still like Won moon, scarce seen In light,
CLOVIS when the wells of night descend
Thus will Loves taper, to this night
Of all my joys its ustre lend.
Oh yes Hopes planet may decline
or clouds of hatred gather there;
But Mem'ry's ever shall be- mine,
And Love may find refuge here.
Then, think not Pride, nor Scorn, nor Hale,
Loves ardent passion e'er tame
They make its consancy more great,
As sprinking to the raging flame. c.
