Painting on clouds, and building in the air:

I sigh within myself, and say in sadness,

"This thing which fools call Love, is nought but Madness!"

XXV.

"The things we have, we most of all neglect;

And that we have not, greedily we crave.

The things we may have, little we respect;

And still we covet, that we cannot have.

Yet, howsoe'er, in our conceit, we prize them;

No sooner gotten, but we straight despise them."
