THE GATHERER.
"I am but a Gatherer and disposer of other men's stuff."—Wotton.
TO ****
Moria pur quando vuol non è bisogna mutar ni faccia ni voci per esser un Angelo.—The words addressed by Lord Herbert of Cherbury, to the beautiful Nun at Murano. (See his Life.)
Translation.
Die when you will, you need not wear At heaven's Court, a form more fair, Than beauty here on earth has giv'n, Keep but the lovely looks we see—The voice we hear—and you will be An angel ready made for heaven.
