To <strong>the</strong> Reader from <strong>the</strong> Printer 23<br />
What power fond affection finds <strong>to</strong> wield,<br />
With virtue set <strong>and</strong> vividly engrained,<br />
You can observe now clearly here revealed,<br />
And glimpse a noble friendship long sustained<br />
By a chaste love, so loftily attained—<br />
Through faith pursued, <strong>and</strong> known <strong>to</strong> never tire—<br />
That it can in this case, all unconstrained,<br />
And despite even Death, silence Desire.<br />
