Oft have I heard, that greif softens the mind And makes it fearful & degenerate; Think therefore on revenge, & cease to weep. But who [[underline]] can cease to weep, [[/underline]] & look on this? Shakespear I ask'd my fair one happy day What I should call her in my lay By what sweet name from Greece or Rome, Iphigenia, Lesbia, Delia Doris Dorimene, or Lucrece? Oh (replied my gentle fair.) Beloved, what are names but air? Take thou whatever suits the line -- But don't forget to call me thine.--
