Come, let us now resolve at last

Come, let us now resolve at last

...To live and love in quiet;

We'll tie the knot so very fast

...That Time shall ne'er untie it.


 

The truest joys they seldom prove

...Who free from quarrels live:

'Tis the most tender part of love

...Each other to forgive.


 

When least I seem'd concern'd, I took

...No pleasure nor no rest;

And when I feign'd an angry look,

...Alas! I loved you best.


 

Own but the same to me--you'll find

...How blest will be our fate.

O to be happy--to be kind--

...Sure never is too late!


 

.....The Reconcilement by John Sheffield, Duke of Buckinghamshire (1648-1721)
