Which might the flame renew: thus soon consumes

10Youth's wand'ring heat, and vanishes in fumes.

When age's riper love unapt to stray

Through loose and giddy change of objects, may

In your warm bosom like a cinder lie,

Quick'ned and kindled by your sparkling eye.

'Tis not deni'd, there are extremes in both

Which may the fancy move to like or loathe:

Yet of the two you better shall endure

To marry with the cramp than calenture.
