The Olive Branch

Sadly I walk'd within the field,

To see what comfort it would yield;

And as I went my private way

An olive branch before me lay,

And seeing it I made a stay,

And took it up and view'd it; then

Kissing the omen, said Amen;

Be, be it so, and let this be

A divination unto me;

That in short time my woes shall cease

And Love shall crown my end with peace.
