A realm there is where will must learn to act

Through doubt and danger; where the character,

First wean’d from oversight, must learn to choose.

Then, like a tottering child it yearns to cling

To one whose greater power can for it act.

Its moods determine that to which they cling.

Some girls are giddy:—they embrace a lover.

And some are gloomy:—they beset a priest.

He, like the first, may ply his own designs,

May take advantage of their weaker state,
