FEW HAPPY MATCHES.
1.
Say, mighty love, and teach my song,
To whom thy sweetest joys belong,
And who the happy pairs
Whose yielding hearts, and joining hands,
Find blessings twisted with their bands,
To soften all their cares.
. . . [4 verses]
6.
Not minds of melancholy strain,
Still silent, or that still complain,
Can the dear bondage bless:
As well may heavenly consort spring
From two old lutes with ne'er a string,
Or none besides the bass.
. . . [3 more verses]
