But I am crown'd to-day, and not so coy—

Crown'd with a kiss, and sceptred with a joy;

And all the world shall see that I am proud.

VI.

I shall be sated now. I shall receive

More than the guerdon of my wildest thought,

More than the most that ecstasy has taught

To saints in Heaven; and more than poets weave

In madcap verse, to warn us, or deceive;

And more than Adam knew ere Eve was brought.
