Love Is Not In Our Choice But

Nature Meant Me A Wife, A Silly, Harmless, Household Dove, Fond Without Art, And Kind Without Deceit.

Uncertain Whose The Narrowest Span,--the Clown Unread, Or Half-read Gentleman.

Better One Suffer Than A Nation Grieve.

Our Vows Are Heard Betimes! And Heaven Takes Care To Grant, Before We Can Conclude The Prayer: Preventing Angels Met It Half The Way, And Sent Us Back To Praise, Who Came To Pray.

Light Sufferings Give Us Leisure To Complain.
