An Epigram, On the Blessedness of Divine Love.

Faith, Hope and Love were question'd what they thought
Of future Glory which Religion taught.—
Now, Faith believ'd it firmly to be true,
And Hope expected so to find it too;
Love answer'd, smiling with a conscious Glow:
“Believe? Expect? I know it to be so.”
