EPIGRAM,

ON

THE POWER OF LOVE.

N. B. This is delivered down by tradition as a production of Cowley; and was spoken at the Westminster-school election, on the following subject:

"Nullis amor est medicabilis herbis."Ovid.

Sol Daphne sees, and seeing her admires,
Which adds new flames to his celestial fires;
Had any remedy for Love been known,
The god of Physick, sure, had cur'd his own.
