He blesses those who part, and those who meet,

And those who join the links of soul with soul.

And are there none untrue? God knows there are!

Aye, there are those who learn in time the laugh

That ends in madness—women who for chaff

Have sold their corn—who seek no guiding-star,

And find no faith to light them from afar;

Of whom 'tis said: "They need no epitaph."
