Ah, to that far distant strand
Bridge there was not to convey,
Not a Bark was near at hand,
Yet true lbve soon found the way.

Hope may succor and faith befriend,
Yet happy your hearts if you can but know,
Love awaits at the journey's end!

And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Scott—Lady of the Lake. Canto IV. St. 1.


In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed;
In war, he mounts the warrior's steed;
In halls, in gay attire is seen;
In hamlets, dances on the green.
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below, and saints above;
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Scott—Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto III.
St. 2.


Her blue eyes sought the west afar,
For lovers love the western star.
Scott—Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto III. St. 24.


True love's the gift which God has given
To man alone beneath the heaven.


It is the secret sympathy,
The silver link, the silken tiej
Which heart to heart, and mind to mind,
In body and in soul can bind.
Scott—Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto V.
St. 13.

LOVE 477
Where shall the lover rest,
Whom the fates sever
From his true maiden's breast,
Parted for ever?
Where, through groves deep and high,
Sounds the far billow,
Where early violets die,
Under the willow.
Scott—Marmion. Canto III. St. 10.


Magis gauderes quod habueras, quam moereres quod amiseras.
Better to have loved and lost, than not to
have loved at all. (Free trans.)
