What best we can.

Then love: I scarce can think

That these be-maddening discords of the mind

To pure melodious sequence could be changed,

And all the vext conundrums of our life

Solved to all time by this old pastoral

Of a new Adam and a second Eve

Set in a garden which no serpent seeks.

And yet I hold heart can beat true to heart:

And to hew down the tree which bears this fruit,
