And all you wish, to have these changes come.
H. And come they may; if not as heretofore,
We cannot all the lovely vase restore;
What we beheld in Love’s perspective glass
Has pass’d away—one sigh! and let it pass.
It was a blissful vision, and it fled,
And we must get some actual good instead: 410
Of good and evil that we daily find,
That we must hoard, this banish from the mind;
The food of Love, that food on which he thrives,
