Loves his own glory in their looks, and showers

Upon that unsubstantial brotherhood 85

Visions with all but beatific light

Enriched—too transient were they not renewed

From age to age, and did not, while we gaze

Nourish the hope that memory lacks not power 90

To keep the treasure unimpaired. Vain thought!

Yet why repine, created as we are

For joy and rest, albeit to find them only
