But for we feel not what we want,
Nor know not what we have;
We love to keep the body’s life, 35
We loath the soul to save.
Anon.

LOVE THE ONLY PRICE OF LOVE.
The fairest pearls that northern seas do breed,
For precious stones from eastern coasts are sold;
Nought yields the earth that from exchange is freed;
Gold values all, and all things value gold.
