Were left for haste unfinished, judgment scant,

Capacity not raised to apprehend

Or value what is best

In choice, but oftest to affect the wrong? 1030

Or was too much of self-love mixed,

Of constancy no root infixed,

That either they love nothing, or not long?

Whate'er it be, to wisest men and best,

Seeming at first all heavenly under virgin veil, 1035

Soft, modest, meek, demure,
