What ever parts of Me remain, Those parts will still the Love of thee retain; For 'twas not only in my Heart, But like a God by pow'rful Art, 'Twas all in all, and all in every part.

Let Nature if she please disperse My Atoms over all the Universe, At the last they easi'ly shall Themselves know, and together call; For thy Love, like a Mark; is stamp'd on all.
