"When Love's once united, no Tyrant shall part / Nor can time efface what is grav'd on my heart."
Metaphor in Context
Air . IV.
1
As pleasing as shade to the way saring swain,
Where the ardaut of Phoebus had scorch'd the sweet plain
As groves to the Lynit or Thyme to the bee
So wellcome my fair one so wellcome to me
2
When Love's once united, no Tyrant shall part
Nor can time efface what is grav'd on my heart,
Remembrance still knows when all raptures are past
For friendship's a flame that burns bright at the last
3
It cheers our sad hours it heightens our joy:
This nor whim can abate, nor can fashion destroy
While beauty alone on too fickle a wing
Like the fairest of blossoms oft dies in her spring.
(II.i, p. 9)
