That such an Enemie we have, who seeks

But that 九九藏书thou shouldst my firmness therfore doubt

Whether his first design be to withdraw

Or this, or worse, leave not the faithful side [ 265 ]

Who guards her, or with her the worst endures.

But other doubt possesses me, least harm

As in a shadie nook I stood behind,

That gave thee being, still shades thee and protects.

Hopeless to circuwww.99lib.netmvent us joynd, where each

To other speedie aide might lend at need; [ 260 ]

Conjugal Love, then which perhaps no bliss

Watches, no doubt, with greedy hope to find

As one who loves, and some unkindness meets,

For solitude somtimes is best societie,
