The love that trifles round the charms it gilds
Oft ruins while it shines." "Igsplane this men and angels! I've tried everyway, back'ards, for'ards, and in all sorts of tranceposishons as thus-- The love that ruins round the charms it shines Gilds while it trifles oft, or The charm that gilds around the love it ruins Oft trifles while it shines, or The ruin that love gilds and shines around Oft trifles while it charms, or Love while it charms, shines round and ruins oft The trifles that it gilds, or The love that trifles, gilds, and ruins oft While round the charms it shines. All which are as sensable as the fust passidge." |
