Slight unpremeditated Words are borne
By every common Wind into the Air;
Carelessly
utter*d, die as soon as born,
And in one instant give both Hope and Fear:
Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind
According to the
Caprice of the Mind.
But Billetdoux are
constant Witnesses,
Substantial Records to Eternity;
Just Evidences, who the Truth
confess,
On which the Lover safely may rely;
They*re serious Thoughts, digested and resolv*d；
And last, when Words are into Clouds devolv*d.
