That it could make thee leave all other things,

And like the taper-fly there burn thy wings;

· · · · ·

If once thou on that only Fair couldst gaze,

What flames of love would he within thee raise!

· · · · ·

“Those golden letters which so brightly shine

In heaven’s great volume gorgeously divine;

The wonders all in sea, in earth, in air,

Be but dark pictures of that sovereign Fair;
