Though sometimes strange I seem, and to neglect thee!

Yet didst thou, but my inward Passions know,

Thou shouldst perceive how highly I respect thee!

"When looks are fixed, the heart ofttimes doth tremble!

"Little loves he, that cannot much dissemble!"

XXXVIII.

Parting from thee! even from myself I part.

Thou art the star, by which my life is guided!

I have the body, but thou hast the heart!

The better part is from itself divided.
