Of flowery odour mixed with spicery,—

No soft embrace, or pleasure bodily;

And yet it is a kind of inward feast,

A harmony that sounds within the breast,

An odour, light, embrace, in which the soul doth rest.

A heavenly feast no hunger can consume;

A light unseen yet shines in every place;

A sound no time can steal; a sweet perfume

No winds can scatter; an entire embrace

That no satiety can e’er unlace;
