Timondes fear'd Time might too far be spent
Upon this Grave, more Solemn Argument,
Philosophy for Lady's tender mind;
Conceived too, young Lover's (heart combin'd)
Would be sometimes left to themselves, alone
Whose Love's not yet day and half old were known;
That might withdraw for hours retreat (he pray'd)
Some things in th' Hermitage should be Survey'd.
