ADVICE TO A GIRL.

Never love unless you can

Bear with all the faults of man!

Men sometimes will jealous be

Though but little cause they see,

And hang the head as discontent,

And speak what straight they will repent.

Men, when their affairs require,

Must awhile themselves retire;

Sometimes hunt, and sometimes hawk,

And not ever sit and talk:----

If these and such-like you can bear,

Then like, and love, and never fear!

--_Thomas Campion._
