NE QUID NIMIS.

SLEEPY.

[Deny not Love and Friendship, tho' long and vainly sought]

[I and my Love together]

GREAT ANCESTRY.

[‘Alas, friend, since your journey was begun]

[I'm but a lowly gooseberry]

[Deny not Love and Friendship, tho' long and vainly sought]

Deny not Love and Friendship, tho' long and vainly sought;
Thy sad perpetual craving with deepest proof is fraught.
Thou canst be friend and lover; else why thy longing now?
Canst thou be true and tender?—of mortals, only thou?
