II.— FELICITY

To marry her and take her home!

The poet, painting pureness, tells

Of lilies; figures power by Rome;

And each thing shows by something else.

But through the songs of poets look,

And who so lucky to have found

In universal nature's book

A likeness for a life so crown'd!

Here they speak best who best express

Their inability to speak,

And none are strong, but who confess

With happy skill that they are weak.
