Love by mutual hearts respected,
Confiding, constant, true!
How sweet to breathe the faithful vow,
To give the pledge, as I do now,
And seek such love from you!
TO A LADY.
On a Valentine-day I hasten to prove
To thee, dearest girl, my remembrance of love,
Tho’ little, indeed, can a trifle impart,
Of a love undivided possessing my heart.
