Song.
q II all my love wore scattered into gems
a The worldly stars we give our lives to
q Then in the night
i Fancy that now can bring me only pam,
would radiant crowns contrive, and cres-
cents bright
And burning diadems
Then on thy finger the soft amethyst
Would aremble, love, ana IN my hhir
Warm r,ibies red;
while to the sweet throat / have never
kissed
3 pure pearls. like clustering kisses, would
I wed,
And dream they made 1t mine.
