A Triolet.

Topics: classic

To commemorate the virtue of Homoeopathy in restoring one apparently drowned.      Love, that in a tear was drown'd,      Lives revived by a tear.      Stella heard them mourn around      Love that in a tear was drown'd,      Came and coax'd his dripping swound,      Wept 'The fault was mine, my dear!'      Love, that in a tear was drown'd,      Lives, revived by a tear.
