Who can show all his love doth love but lightly.

Coy looks, with heart-sore sighs; one fading I never tempted her with word too large;

But, as a brother to his sister, showed
Bashful sincerity, and comely love.

ARTS OF LOVE.

Of all the paths lead to a woman's love
Pity's the straightest.

Knight of Malta, Acti. Se 1. BEAUMONT and FICHPR.

grace,
And thus the soldier, armed with resolution,
That 't is a kind of heaven to be deluded by him. Told his soft tale, and was a thriving wooer.

To love you was pleasant enough,
And O, 't is delicious to hate you!

With charm of earliest birds, nor rising sun
On this delightful land, nor herb, fruit, flower,
Glistering with dew, nor fragrance after showers,
Nor grateful evening mild, nor silent night
With this her solemn bird, nor walk by moon,
Or glittering starlight, without thee is sweet.

JEANIE.

THOU hast sworn by thy God, my Jeanie, By that pretty white hand o' thine, And by a' the lowing stars in heaven,

That thou wad aye be mine! And I hae sworn by my God, my Jeanie, And by that kind heart o' thine, By a' the stars sown thick owre heaven, That thou shalt aye be mine!

Then foul fa' the hands that wad loose sic bands,
And the heart that wad part sic luve!
But there 's nae hand can loose the band,
But the finger o' God abuve.

Though the wee, wee cot maun be my bield,
An' my claithing ne'er sae mean,

I wad lap me up rich i' the faulds o' luve, —
Heaven's armfu' o' my Jean!

Her white arm wad be a pillow to me,

Fu' safter than the down;

An' Luve wad winnow owre us his kind, kind

wings,

An' sweetly I'd sleep, an' soun'.

Come here to me, thou lass o' my luve!

Come here and kneel wi' me!

The morn is fu' o' the presence o' God,
An' I canna pray without thee.

The morn-wind is sweet 'mang the beds o' new flowers,

The wee birds sing kindlie an' hie;

Our gudeman leans owre his kail-yard dike,

And a blythe auld bodie is he.

The Book maun be ta'en whan the carle comes
