were received by the King and Queen as the last persons in the world they had ever expected to see again, but whom they beheld with the greatest pleasure. Aimée's beauty and prudence, added to her wit, made her the admiration of the age. Her dear mother loved her passionately. The fine qualities of Prince Aimé's mind were not less appreciated than his handsome person. The nuptials were celebrated; nothing was ever so magnificent. The Graces attended in their festive attire. The Loves were there, without even being invited, and by their express order, the eldest son of the Prince and Princess was named "Faithful Love." They have given him since then many other titles; and under all these various names it is very difficult to find "Faithful Love," such as sprang from this charming marriage. Happy they who meet with him unmistakeably.
Aimée with her lover alone in a wood,
Conducted herself with extreme circumspection;
To Reason she listen'd—Temptation withstood,
And lost not a jot of her Prince's affection.
Believe not, ye fair, who would captivate hearts,
That Cupid needs Pleasure alone to retain him;
Love oft from the lap of Indulgence departs,
But Prudence and Virtue for ever enchain him.
