" Oh! seal me, stamp me on thy tender Mind, / And leave the strong Impression deep behind."

SHE.
Light of my Life, oh! take me to thy Heart,
Nor ever with thy fond SAPHIRA part:
Oh! seal me, stamp me on thy tender Mind,
And leave the strong Impression deep behind.
For Love, like Death, his Sceptre sternly sways,
When-e'er the Tyrant calls, the Slave obeys.
His Passion, turn'd to Jealousy, will rave
Fierce as a Whirlwind, cruel as the Grave,
For ever burnt and burning with Desire,
As Coals that glow with unconsuming Fire.
Let gushing Brooks and swelling Torrents roll
Their cooling Waters o'er the Love-sick Soul,
Yet will survive the bright unsullied Flame,
It's Vigour lively, and it's Heat the same.
Ransack the solid Globe for Wealth; and sweep
The secret Vallies of th' unfathom'd Deep,
Give all to Love and bribe Him to be kind,
Yet still you'll feel his Fetters on your Mind:
Whate'er you stake, his Value's still above,
And nothing ballances but Love for Love.
