For first or last, as all must die
So 'tis as much decreed above
That first or last, we all must love.

EPIGRAPH: Fatally fair they are, and in their Smiles The Graces, little Loves, and young Desires inhabit; But all that gaze upon them are undone; For they are false, luxurious in their Appetities, And all the Heaven they hope for is Variety. One Lover to another still succeeds; Another, and another after that, And the last Food is welcome as the former; Till having lov'd his Hour out, he gives his Place, And mingles with the Herd that went before him.
