On The Aphorism

"L'Amitié est l'Amour sans ailes."

Is chasten'd Love, depriv'd of wings,

Without all wish or power to wander;

Less volatile, but not less tender:

Yet says the proverbs­"Sly and slow "Love creeps, even where he cannot go;" To clip his pinions then is vain,

His old propensities remain;   And she, who years beyond fifteen,

Has counted twenty, may have seen How rarely unplum'd Love will stay;

He flies not­but he coolly walks away.
