mark yonder pomp of costly fashion
round the wealthy, titled bride:
but when par'd with real passion,
poor is all that princely pride.
mark yonder, c. (four lines repeated).
what are the showy treasures,

the gay, gaudy re of vanity and art:

may draw the wond'ring gaze;
and courtly grandeur bright
the fancy may delight,
but never, never can e near the heart.
