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."
