rvest-time of Love is there. _Curse of Kehama, Canto X_. R. SOUTHEY. CONSTANCY. O heaven! were man But constant, he were perfect. That one error Fills him with faults; makes him run through all the sins: Inconstancy falls off ere it begins. _Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act v. Sc. 4_. SHAKESPEARE. They sin who tell us Love can die: With Life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity. _Curse of Kehama, Canto X_. R. SOUTHEY. Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love. _Hamlet, Act ii. Sc. 2_. SHAKESPEARE.

LORD LANSDOWNE. Yes! in the poor man's garden grow, Far more than herbs and flowers, Kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind, And joy for weary hours. _The Poor Man's Garden_. M. HOWITT. Whate'er the passion, knowledge, fame, or pelf, Not one will change his neighbor with himself. _Essay on Man, Epistle II_. A. POPE.
