"Bright Star of Phœbus! Goddess of my thought!

Behold thy vassal, humbled on his knee!

Behold for thee, what gods and Art hath wrought,

A man adoring! of Love, the lowest degree.

I love! I honour thee!" No more; there stayed

As if foresworn; even so, was he afraid!

Eurialæ now spake, yet seemed in wonder,

Her lips when parting, heaven did ope his treasure,

"O do not, do not love! I will not sunder

A heart in two! Love hath nor height nor measure!
