There will I dedicate my self to Heav'n.
O Phocyas, for thy Sake, no Rival else
Shall e'er possess my Heart. My Father too
Consents to this my Vow. My vital Flame
There, like a Taper on the holy Altar,
Shall waste away; till Heav'n relenting hear
Incessant Pray'rs for thee and for my self,
And wing my Soul to meet with thine in Bliss.

For in that Thought I find a sudden Hope,
As if inspir'd, springs in my Breast, and tells me
That thy repenting Frailty is forgiven,
And we shall meet again, to part no more.
