Love remains immutable;
On to the close they glide ‘mid scenes Elysian,
Through life’s delightful vision.”
Mr. Martin is here somewhat closer and not less skilful in handling his metre:
“Oh! trebly blest, and blest for ever,
Are they whom true affection binds,
In whom no doubts or janglings sever
The union of their constant minds;
But life in blended current flows
Serene and sunny to the close.”
