What am I to think? Am I in a Dream? or was this writ in one? Sure, Madness has possessed the World, and Men, like the Limbs of a tainted Body, universally share the Infection. What shall I do! to go, is to encounter a Mad-man, and yet I will. Some strange Circumstances may have wrought this Delusion, which my Presence may dissipate. And, since Love and Jealousie are his Diseases, I ought to pity him, who know by dreadful Experience,
When Love in an impetuous Torrent flows,
How vainly Reason would its Force oppose;

Let bold Ambition lie
Within the Warrior's Mind;
False Honours let him buy,
With Slaughter of Mankind:
To Crowns a doubtful Right,
Lay thousands in their Grave:
While wretched Armies fight
Which Master shall enslave.
Love took my Heart with Storm,
Let him there rule alone,
In Charlotte's charming Form,
Still sitting on his Throne:
How will my Soul rejoice,
At his Commands to fly,
If spoken in that Voice,
Or look'd from that dear Eye!
To Universal Sway
Love's Title is the best;
Well, shall we him obey,
Who makes his Subjects blest?
If Heaven for Human Good
Did Empire first design,
Love must be understood
To rule by Right Divine",,11916,"",Love may take the heart with storm and rule there alone,"",2009-09-14 19:36:23 UTC,""
