ACME AND SEPTIMIUS.
Love heard the wish, Love heard the oath,
And, hovering near, confirm'd them both.
And now with mutual heart and mind
They love and are beloved again:—
O'er worlds Septimius would not reign
If Acme were to be resign'd;
And Acme deems life's every joy
Placed in th' affections of her boy.———
Oh, where was Love more true than this?
What lovers e'er knew greater bliss?
