Since there's no help for me, come, let us kiss and part-- Alas! I am done, you see no more of me; But I am sorry, yea, sorry with all my heart, That thus, you have willed it,--to be free: Shake hands forever, cancel all our vows, And when we meet at any time again, Be it not seen in either of our brows That we one jot of former love retain.

LIFE WITHOUT LOVE.
Life without love is like day without sunshine, Roses bereft of sweet nature's perfume; Love is the guide mark to those who are weary Of waiting and watching in darkness and gloom.
Love to the heart is like dewdrops to violets Left on the dust-ridden roadside to die; Love leads the way to our highest endeavors, Lightens and lessens the pain of each sigh.
Life without love is like spring without flowers, Brook-streams that move not, or star-bereft sky; Love creates efforts most worthy and n.o.ble, Prompts us to live and resigns us to die.
--_Unknown._

LOVE.
The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the whole world dies With the setting sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; But the light of a whole life dies When love is done.
--_Francis W. Bourdillon._
1173
One nail by strength drives out another, So the remembrance of my former love Is by a newer object quite forgotten.
--_Shakespeare._
1174
Love is like the moon; when it does not increase, it decreases.
1175
FORGET THEE?
Behold the sun forget to shine, The brightest star to twinkle, The ivy round the oak to twine, The tearful heart to sprinkle The sod that wraps affection's grave, The never silent surging sea The sandy sh.o.r.e to lash and lave-- Then think that I'll forget thee.
--_Winfred._

THE MAIDEN IN LOVE.
Sweet mother, I can spin no more to-day, And all for a youth who has stolen my heart away.
--_Sappho, 600 B. C._ --_Translated by Appleton._
1177
We are easily duped by those whom we love.
--_Moliere._
