_The Smiles, the Graces, and the Sports,_ _That in the Secret Groves maintain their Courts,_ _Are with these Myrtles crown’d:_ _Thither the Nymphs their Garlands bring;_ _Their Beauties and their Praises sing,_ _While Echoes do the Songs resound._ Love, _tho’ a God, with Myrtle Wreaths_ _Does his soft Temples bind;_ _More valu’d are those consecrated Leaves,_ _Than the bright Wealth in Eastern Rocks confin’d:_ _And Crowns of Glory less Ambition move,_ _Than those more sacred Diadems of Love._ _The Second_ CYPHER, Is crown’d with Olives; and I add to the two Letters of our Names an _R_ and an _L_, for _Reciprocal Love_. Every time that I have given you, O lovely _Iris_, Testimonies of my Passion, I have been so blest, as to receive some from your Bounty; and you have been pleased to flatter me with a Belief, that I was not indifferent to you. I dare therefore say, that being honour’d with the Glory of your Tenderness and Care, I ought, as a Trophy of my illustrious Conquest, to adorn the _Watch_ with a Cypher that is so advantageous to me. Ought I not to esteem my self the most fortunate and happy of Mankind, to have exchanged my Heart with so charming and admirable a Person as _Iris_? Ah! how sweet, how precious is the Change; and how vast a Glory arrives to me from it! Oh! you must not wonder if my Soul abandon it self to a thousand Extasies! In the Merchandize of Hearts, Oh, how dear it is to receive as much as one gives; and barter Heart for Heart! Oh! I would not receive mine again, for all the Crowns the Universe contains! Nor ought you, my Adorable, make any Vows or Wishes, ever to retrieve yours; or shew the least Repentance for the Blessing you have given me. The Exchange we made, was confirm’d by a noble Faith; and you ought to believe, you have bestow’d it well, since you are paid for it a Heart that is so conformable to yours, so true, so just, and so full of Adoration: And nothing can be the just Recompence of Love, but Love: and to enjoy the true Felicity of it, our Hearts ought to keep an equal Motion; and, like the Scales of Justice, always hang even. ’.is the Property of Reciprocal Love, to make the Heart feel the Delicacy of Love, and to give the Lover all the Ease and Softness he can reasonably hope. Such a Love renders all things advantageous and prosperous: Such a Love triumphs over all other Pleasures. And I put a Crown of Olives over the Cypher of _Reciprocal Love_, to make known, that two Hearts, where Love is justly equal, enjoy a Peace that nothing can disturb. _Olives are never fading seen;_ _But always flourishing, and green._ _The Emblem ‘tis of Love and Peace;_ } _For Love that’s true, will never cease:_ } _And Peace does Pleasure still increase._ } _Joy to the World, the Peace of Kings imparts;_ _And Peace in Love distributes it to Hearts._
