Duetto.
 * Love one day essayed to gain
 * Entrance into Beauty's bower,
 * Many a toil, and many a chain,
 * Guarded round the precious flower.
 * But Love laid aside his bow.
 * Veiled his wing, hid his dart,
 * Entered more than Beauty's bower,
 * Entered also Beauty's heart.
 * Hence was the sweet lesson learnt.
 * Fond hearts never should despair,
 * Kept with truth, and led by hope.
 * What is there Love may not dare?


 * "In the time of the Rump," &c.
