SENTIMENT. 



Go forth again, inconstant one, 



Go forth among proud fashion's throng 

 May a fair sky and a pleasant sun 



Be thine, to light thy step along; 

 No malison shall rest on thee, 



Although that vow so soon was broken; 

 Yet thou shalt hear no curse from me, 



No word unmanly shall be spoken: 

 Forget my heart, forget my lyre, 



Forget them with our pleasures gone ; 

 Kindled and quenched hath been love's fire, 



Yet I forgive thee speed thee on. 



/. F. Rogert. 



ANSWER. 



Inconstant! are the waters so, 



That fall in showers on hill and plain, 

 Then, tired of what they find below, 



Ride on the sunbeams back again? 

 Pray, are there changes in the sky, 



The winds, or in our summer weather? 

 In sudden change, believe me, I 



Will beat both clouds and winds together: 

 Nothing in air or earth may be 



Fit type of my inconstancy. 



Token for 183ft.
