(Stz. 7.)

He ends with hope still living:

“Then, hope, sustain thy self: though thou art hid

Thou livest still, and must till she forbid;

For when she would my vows and love reject,

They would a Being in themselves project,

Since infinites as they yet never did,

Nor could conclude without some good effect.”

(Stz. 16.)
