Wreathe of Laurel and Myrtle

"Wreathe of Laurel and Myrtle"

(included in Gentlemen's Valentines, 1811)

Renown and Glory here bestow

A Laurel Wreath to bind your Brow

And laughing Love to crown their [C]are

Has twin’d the fragrant Myrtle there

To shew that Valours meed shall prove

Most lovely when combin’d with Love.
