She found her tortoise held such sluggish pace,

That she must turn and meet him in the chase:

This not approving, she withdrew, till one

Came who appear’d with livelier hope to run;

Who sought a readier way the heart to move,

Than by faint dalliance of unfixing love.

Accuse me not that I approving paint

Impatient Hope or Love without restraint;

Or think the Passions, a tumultuous throng,

Strong as they are, ungovernably strong:
