thoughts. 



Shaks. 



My love for thee is such, as absence ne'er can quell. 



Anon. 



Dwelling deep in my shut and silent heart ! ' Byron. 



And in 



My soul, which flies to thee, her trust, her treasure 

 As misers to their gold, while others rest. Young. 



Whilst love, by absence fed, without control 

 Tumultuous rushes on his soul.

HEART'S EASE, Wild. 

 Viola tricolor. 



Love in idleness. While idly I stood looking on, 



I found the effect of love in idleness ! 



Shaks. 



I looked, and looked, and still with new delight ; 

 Such joy my soul, such pleasure filled my sight. 



Dryden, from Chaucer. 



Helen, I love thee ; by my life I do ; 



I swear by that which I will lose for thee, 



To prove him false, that says I love thee not. 



Shaks. 



And all the faith, the virtue of my heart, 

 The object, and the pleasure of mine eye, 



Is on Helena same. 



Whom I do love, and will do to my death. same.

Devotion. Gaze on my cheek, 



And let its hue when thou art near, my heart's devotion 



speak, 



Look on my dim and tearful eye, my pale and rigid brow, 

 And list my wild, unbidden sigh, what need of pledge 



or vow. Anon. 



I behold her 



With adoration feast my eye, while all 

 My other senses starve ; and oft frequenting 

 The place which she makes happy with her presence, 

 I never yet had power, with tongue or pen, 

 To move her to compassion, or make known 

 What 'tis I languish for; yet I must gaze still 

 Though it increase my flame. 



Massinger's Bashful Lover.
