To propagate for once—which nature rendered vain,

Who lets first failure stay, yet cares not to record

Mistake that seems to cast opprobrium on the Lord!

Such were the gain from love's best pains! But let the elf

Be touched with hate, because some real man bears himself

Manlike in body and soul, and, since he lives, must thwart

And furify and set a-fizz this counterpart

O' the pismire that 's surprised to effervescence, if,

By chance, black bottle come in contact with chalk cliff,

Acid with alkali! Then thrice the bulk, out blows
