Too happy rival dwell not there
To rack my heart with jealous care,
But quit the bleft abode, tho' loth,

And quickly passing, cafe us both,

要求要受 VERSE S written in a LADY's

SHERLOCK upon Death.

To live's to love, to bless, be bleft

With mutual inclination ;
Share then

my ardour in your breast,
And kindly meet my passion.

W

Henever, Chloe, I begin

Your heart like mine to move, You tell me of the crying fin

Of unchaste lawless love.

1

How can that passion be a fin,

Which gave to Chloe birth ? How can those joys but be divine,

Which make a heaven on earth ?

То

To wed, mankind the priest trepanna,

By some fly fallacy,
And disobey'd God's great command,

Increase and multiply.

You say that love's a crime; content:

Yet this allow you must,
More joy's in heav'n if one repent,

Than over ninety juft.

Sin then, dear girl, for heaven's fake,

Repent and be forgiven;
Bless me, and by repentance make

A holy day in heav'n.
