<h3>BY JOHN PAUL</h3>
<p><span style="margin-left: 1em;">That 'tis well to be off with the old love</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">Before one is on with the new</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Has somehow passed into a proverb,—</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">But I never have found it true.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">No love can be quite like the old love,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">Whate'er may be said for the new—</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And if you dismiss me, my darling,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">You may come to this thinking, too.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Were the proverb not wiser if mended,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">And the fickle and wavering told</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">To be sure they're on with the new love</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">Before they are off with the old?</span><br/>
