2Love to daily uses wedShall be sweetly perfected.Life by repetition growsUnto its appointed close:Day to day fulfils the year;Shall not Love by Love wax dear?All piles by repetition rise;Shall not then Loves' edifice?Shall not Love too learn his writ,Like Wisdom, by repeating it?By the oft-repeated useAll perfections gain their thews;And so, with daily uses wed,Love, too, shall be perfected.
