Blest let them be who seriously endeavour,
To reconcile you; cursed, they who sever
Whom GOD hath joyned; For, no outward curse
To any can befall, that will be worse
Then that which will in likelihood betide
To these two Nations if they long divide;
But, they who of the breach most guilty are
The greatest burthen of that curse shall bear.
