Do I sing thus; or my affections ran

Within the maze of mutability;

What last I lov'd was beauty of the mind,

And that lodg'd in a temple truly fair,

Which ruin'd now by death, if I can find

The saint that liv'd therein some otherwhere,

I may adore it there, and love the cell

For entertaining what I lov'd so well.


Why might I not for once be of that sect,
