Hast Love's subduing sweetness known;
From all her state, the Great One bends
To charm the Olympian's bright embraces,
The Heart-Enthraller only lends
The rapture-cestus of the Graces!
Blessed through love are the Gods above—
Through love like a God may man be;
Heavenlier through love is the heaven above,
Through love like a heaven earth can be!
Love can sun the Realms of Night—
