XCIV.

Love bears within its breast the very germ

Of Change; and how should this be otherwise?

That violent things more quickly find a term

Is shown through Nature's whole analogies;[728]And how should the most fierce of all be firm?

Would you have endless lightning in the skies?

Methinks Love's very title says enough:

How should "the tender passion" e'er be tough?
