The charm that gilds around the love it ruins,
Oft trifles while it shines;
Or,
The ruins that love gilds and shines around,
Oft trifles where it charms;
Or,
Love, while it charms, shines round, and ruins oft,
The trifles that it gilds;
Or,
The love that trifles, gilds and ruins oft,
While round the charms it shines.
All which are as sensable as the fust passidge.
