But fools rush in where angels fear to tread,

Far out amid the melancholy main;

As when a vulture on Imaus bred,

Dies of a rose in aromatic pain.

Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast,

Look on her face, and you'll forget them all;

Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest,

A hero perish, or a sparrow fall.

My way of life is fall'n into the sere;

I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs,
