EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 21. 'TIS CONSTANCY THAT GAINS THE PRIZE by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: WHEN LOW'RING AND WHEN BLUSTERING WINDS ARISE
Last Line: GETS GROUND AND GROWS THE STRONGER FOR THE SHOCK.
Subject(s): FIDELITY; LOVE; FAITHFULNESS; CONSTANCY;
WHEN low'ring and when blustering winds arise,
The weather-beaten Lover, tough as oak,
Endures the haughty storm, bends and complies,
Gets ground and grows the stronger for the shock.
