First Line: PERMIT ME, JULIA, NOW TO GOE AWAY
Last Line: THERE, WHERE NO LANGUAGE EVER YET WAS KNOWN.

Permit me, Julia, now to goe away;
Or by thy love, decree me here to stay.

Here shall my endless Tabernacle be:
If not, (as banisht) I will live alone
There, where no language ever yet was known.
