On thy wither'd lips and dry,
Which like barren furrows lie,
Brooding kisses I will pour,
Shall thy youthful heart restore.

And a second spring recall);
Nor from thee will ever part,
Ancient Person of my Heart.

Nor ever does a wise one.

Whose promise none relies on;

Not in the thing it self, but the Degree.
