  • Oh, why should vows so fondly made,
    Be broken ere the morrow,
    To one who loves as never maid
    Loved in this world of sorrow?
  • Vows with so much passion, swears with so much grace,
    That 'tis a kind of Heaven to be deluded by him.

    Vow an eternal misery together.

    When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul
    Lends the tongue vows.
