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