LOVE.
Mental love is a thing as
pure as light, sacred as a tem
ple, lading as the world. That
love that can cease, as laid an
ancient was never true. Men
tal love contains in it all iweet
ncis, all society, all felicity, ail
piudence, and ail wisdom. It
is an union of all things ex
cellent; it contains proportion
iaiisfatiion, rclf, and confi
dence. The eyes ofa wife are
then lair as the light ol hea
ven ; a man may then case ins
cares, and lay dow.i his sor
rows upon her ! ap, and can
retire home as to his ianduary
and refectory, and his gardens
of i weetnefs and ol chalte te
frelliment.
