THE REIGN OF LOVE
“In freta dum fluvii current,” etc.
Virgil.
While roses boast a purple dye,
While seas obey the blast,
Or glowing rain-bows span the sky—
The reign of love shall last.
While seas obey the blast,
Or glowing rain-bows span the sky—
The reign of love shall last.
While man exults o'er present joy,
Or mourns o'er joy that's past,
Feels virtue soothe, or vice alloy—
The reign of love shall last.
Or mourns o'er joy that's past,
Feels virtue soothe, or vice alloy—
The reign of love shall last.
While female charms attract the mind,
In moulds of beauty cast;
While man is warm, or woman kind—
The reign of love shall last.
In moulds of beauty cast;
While man is warm, or woman kind—
The reign of love shall last.
C. T.
