Believe me, if all those endearing young charms Which I gaze on so fondly today, Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms, Like fairy gifts fading away, Thou would’st still be ador’d as this moment thou art, Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still.

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,

But there’s nothing half so sweet in life As love’s young dream.

Friend, be not afraid of thy office, thou sandiest me to God.

Go where glory waits thee! But while fame elates thee, Oh, still remember me!
