Blessedest of all blisses (—wherefore try

Your patience with embraceings and the rest

Due from Calypso's all-unwilling guest

To his Penelope?)—there somehow came

The coolness which as duly follows flame.

So, one day, "What if we inspect the gifts

My Art has gained us?"

Now the wife uplifts

A casket-lid, now tries a medal's chain

Round her own lithe neck, fits a ring in vain
