Lament X

My dear delight, my Ursula, and where

Art thou departed, to what land, what sphere?

High o’er the heavens wert thou borne, to stand

One little cherub midst the cherub band?

Or dost thou laugh in Paradise, or now

Upon the Islands of the Blest art thou?

Or in his ferry o’er the gloomy water

Does Charon1 bear thee onward, little daughter?

And having drunken of forgetfulness
