All over, Love.

TIs well, 'tis well with them (say I)Whose short liv'd Passions with themselves can dye:For none can be unhappy, who'Midst all his ills a time does know(Though nere so long) when he shall not be so.
1.
What ever parts of Me remain,Those parts will still the Love of Thee retain;For 'twas not only in my Heart,
descriptionPage 35
But like a God by powerfull Art,'Twas all in all, and all in every Part.
3.
My Affection no more perish canThen the first Matter that compounds a Man.Hereafter if one Dust of MeMixt with anothers Substance be,'Twill Leaven that whole Lump with Love of Thee.
4.
Let Nature if she please disperseMy Atoms over all the Universe,At the last they easily shall,Themselves know, and together call,For thy Love, like a Mark, is stamp'd on all.
