over plain and vale and bill.
Make haste slowly-fate dofying'
Though the game escape you--stil,
There's more sport. there's no gainsay-
ing.
In the chase than i'm the Staying.
When n maiden coy refuses
Meath the mistletoe To kiss,
Make haste slowly. He who loses
Often gains the greater bliss.
For. believe me. there's more rapture
In the strife than in the capture.
