XI.

O Love! my Love! I would not for a throne,

I would not for the thrones of all the kings

Who yet have liv'd, or for a seraph's wings,

Or for the nod of Jove when night hath flown,

Consent to rule an empire all alone.

No! I must have the grace of our two rings.

I must possess thee from the crowning curl

Down to the feet, and from the beaming eye
