    AND can you —— —— then forego
The riches of mankind;—
For one whose only wealth below
Is center’d in his mind?

    And shall thy faithful bosom burn,
5
With fondness but for me?
And shall my mutual friendship turn
From every wish but thee? [Page 28]

    Then must the bond that gives it birth
Our union constant prove;
10
Ourselves must be our only earth,
Our only wishes Love! [Page 29]
