    Front, printed, "Art thou not dear unto my heart? / O search my heart and see; / And from my bosom tear the part / That beate not true to thee. / Yes, thou art dear unto my heart, / More dear than tongue can tell; / And if a fault is cherished there; / 'Tis loving thee too well. / Love it is a heavenly treasure; / Love's a never fading tree ; / Love's the source of every pleasure; / Love I'll live and die with thee !".
