To commemorate the virtue of Homoeopathy in restoring one apparently drowned.

  Love, that in a tear was drown'd,
  Lives revived by a tear.
  Stella heard them mourn around
  Love that in a tear was drown'd,
  Came and coax'd his dripping swound,
  Wept 'The fault was mine, my dear!'
  Love, that in a tear was drown'd,
  Lives, revived by a tear.
