Said a Smile to a Tear

SAID a Smile to a Tear, On the cheek of my dear, And beam'd like the sun in spring weather, In sooth, lovely tear, It strange doth appear, That we should be both here together.

I came from the heart, A soft balm to impart, To yonder md daughter of grief: And I, said the smile, That heart now beguile, Since you gave the poor mourner relief.

Oh then, said the tear, Sweet smile, it is clear We are twins, and soft Pity our mother; And how lovely that face, Which together we grace, For the woe and the bliss of another.

Amo Amas

AMO Amas, I love a lass, As a cedar tall and slender, Sweet cowslips grace her nominative cas And she's of the feminine gender.
