Ostella forth of Town: To my Heart.

HEart be Content, though she be gone, let Reason govern thee: Thou hast so much of Pleasure known, 'tis fit a season'd Misery should temper thy Prosperity.
Absence doth whet the Appetite, which Presence dull'd before, There is no Pleasure truly great, nor sweet of such effectual pow'r, 'till season'd with a little Sow'r.

Page 18

He cannot truly prize Delight, that ne'r knew Misery; Nor deem the glory of the Light, untili by wanting it, he be sensible of its purity,
Think this the time of thy lost health which when restor'd to thee, Ev'n from the Ruine of thy Wealth it brings a perfect Remedy, to double thy Felicity.
