That so may be embalmed their happy hour

And in another day, a kindred mood,

Haply together, or in solitude,

Recovered what the teeth of Time devour,

The joy, the bloom, and the illusive power,

Wherewith by their young blood they are endued

To move all enviable, framed in May,

And of an aspect sisterly with Truth:

Yet seek they with Time’s laughing things to wed:

Who will be prompted on some pallid day
