All-over LOVE.
〈♫〉〈♫〉 TIs well, 'tis well with them (say I,) whose short liv'd〈♫〉〈♫〉 Passi'ons with themselves can dye: For none can be unhappie〈♫〉〈♫〉 who mid'st all his Ills a time does know, Though ne're so〈♫〉〈♫〉 long when he shall not be so.

2.
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.
3.
My Affection no more perish canThen the First Matter that compounds a Man.Hereafter if one Dust of MeeMixt with anothers substance bee,'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 easi'ly shallThemselves know, and together call;For thy Love, like a Mark; is stamp'd on all.
