SONNET.
INEZ TO MANUEL.
There is a Peace of heart that cannot beCompanioned by deep Love's impassioned zeal;
Then farewell Peace, it cannot dwell, I feel
With aught of thine, dark dangerous power! or thee!
And well I know my life's whole history,
However stern Fate with me hereafter deal,
Is written in one word!—sealed with one seal,
Linked with one link, and locked by one bright key!—
And that is Love!—then farewell Peace, farewell—
Henceforth Suspense and Sorrow shall be made
My bosom inmates—Care and Fear must dwell
Where once that sway is owned and is obeyed;
Fatal that sway, that mortal influence fell—
Yet who but loves such yoke upon him laid?
Het Loo.
