Or what fate, advice, good or bad, may yield;
And if I give you the lie in anything
Never let her look on me night or morn,
She's in my heart, day-long and night-long,
Whom I'd not wish to lack (for false is the call)
On those shores where
Alexander

Lycius, perplex'd at words so blind and blank,
Made close inquiry; from whose touch she shrank,
Feigning
a sleep; and he to the dull shade
Of deep sleep in a moment was betray'd
It was the custom then to bring away
The bride from home at blushing shut of day,
Veil'd, in a chariot, heralded along
By strewn flowers, torches, and a marriage song,
With other pageants: but this fair unknown
Had not a friend.

And wax before the fire;
Nor triumph oer the reign
Which they so soon resign;
In this world's ways they gain,
Insurance
safe as thine.
