Psyche! thou shouldst have taken that high gift

Of Love as it was meant, that mystery

Did ask thy faith, the Gods do test our worth,

And ere they grant high boons our heart would sift!

“5. Hadst thou no divine Vision of thine own?

Didst thou not see the Object of thy Love

Clothed with a Beauty to dull clay unknown?

And could not that bright Image, far above

The Reach of sere Decay, content thy Thought?
