Grow in demand, still craving more and more,

And make each joy conceded prove a pledge

Of other joy to follow—bating naught

Of its desires, still seizing fresh pretence

To turn the knowledge and the rapture wrung

As an extreme, last boon, from destiny,

Into occasion for new covetings,

New strifes, new triumphs:—doubtless a strong soul,

Alone, unaided might attain to this,

So glorious is our nature, so august
