Jove of Love Ii

In respect to the grand love birds, I 
greet
Watching them thro' whilst they glide 
place to place; 
If time herself is meek for us to meet
The f'llowing words will I say face to 
face:
 
'How long shall you soar high on cupid 
wings
Is it thro' the old grey time of dear 
death?
In sickness, and pain and all the 
saddest things,
How boldly shall you love till your last 
breath?'.

'Love is that tougher bed we try to 
make
(Full of surprises as the wise men say)
Half of the world will love, half may 
forsake; 
(To the love birds tarry and go your 
way)'.

Bye and bye, these words are forgott'n 
as well
Aye and aye, these words I shall never 
tell.
