Affection, though repell’d, will still return:

And faithful love, though for a moment curb’d,

Or driven away, will, with augmented strength,

Regain its empire.

And also by Ovid,

Quæ modò pugnarunt jungunt sua rostra columbæ,

Quarum blanditias verbaque murmur habet.

Ovid, Art. Am., B. 2. v. 465.

[NOTE 153.]

Simo.—Yet the most serious mischief, after all, can amount but to a separation, which may the gods avert.
