998. SINGING A DUET.

_Godfried Schalcken_ (Dutch: 1643-1706). _See 199._

A lover holds a guitar, his mistress some music; on the table is a

rose--

If love were what the rose is,

And I were like the leaf,

Our lives would grow together

In sad or singing weather....

If love were what the rose is

And I were like the leaf.

SWINBURNE: _A Match_.
