The Resemblance.
Marble (coy Cælia!) 'gainst my Pray'rs thou art,And at thy Frown to Marble I convert.
Love thought it fit, and Nature, thus
To manifest their severall Powers in us.
Love made me Marble, Nature thee,
To express Constancy and Cruelty.
Now both of us shall Monuments remain;
I of firm Faith, thou of Disdain.
