On glassed futurity; nay, death itself,

His fate unquestioned, his foretasted pain,

The certainty foreknown of things unknown,

Cannot discourage his habitual being 1016

In its appointed motions, to make waver

His eager hand, nor loosen the desire

Of the most feeble melancholy heart

Even from the unhopefullest of all her dreams.

In. Since then I long to know, now something say

Of what will come to mine when I am gone.
