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
