17944,"","",,"""But a smooth and stedfast mind, / Gentle thought and calm desires, / Hearts in equal love combin'd, / Kindle never-dying fires; / Where these are not I despise / Lovely cheeks, or lips, or eyes.""",2010-07-13 19:26:32 UTC,"Contributed by PC Fleming, searching ""mind""","",6739,"He who loves a rosy cheek,
Or a coral lip admires;
Or from star-like eyes doth seek,
Fuel to maintain his fires;
As old Time makes these decay,
So their loves will wear away.
But a smooth and stedfast mind,
Gentle thought and calm desires,
Hearts in equal love combin'd,
Kindle never-dying fires;
Where these are not I despise
Lovely cheeks, or lips, or eyes. (page 99)","A poem Miss Worthy claims to have been read to her by Miss Friendly. She calls it a sonnet, though it is only twelve lines and in tetrameter.",2010-07-13 19:27:52 UTC
