Where Passion—gorgeous cenobite—blurs not

With fumid incense of his own hot breath

The hallow’d eyes of sweet Philosophy;

Where body battens not upon the soul,

But both are Reason’s angels, and Love’s self—

Pontifical in daisy-chains—doth hold

High mass at nature’s May-pole;—if such star

There were in all God’s heaven, and such indeed

Were ours, there would I speak and utter, not

“Dear Eglantine, I love you,” but “We love.”
