Which filled it when, to crown your dearest wish,

With a tumultuous heart, you left with me

Our childhood's home to join the favored few

Whom, here, Trithemius condescends to teach

A portion of his lore: and not one youth

Of those so favored, whom you now despise,

Came earnest as you came, resolved, like you,

To grasp all, and retain all, and deserve

By patient toil a wide renown like his.

Now, this new ardor which supplants the old
