Dismissing therefore, all Arcadian dreams, 625

All golden fancies of the golden age,

The bright array of shadowy thoughts from times

That were before all time, or is to be

Ere time expire, the pageantry that stirs

And will be stirring when our eyes are fixed 630

On lovely objects, and we wish to part

With all remembrance of a jarring world,

—Take we at once this one sufficient hope,

What need of more? that we shall neither droop,
