As man, perhaps, the moment of his breath
Receives the lurking
principle
of death;
The young disease that must subdue at length,
Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength:
So, cast and mingled with his very frame,
The mind's disease, its ruling passion came;
Each vital humour which should feed the whole,
Soon flows to this, in body and in soul:
Whatever warms the heart, or fills the head,
As the mind opens, and its functions spread,
Imagination plies her dangerous art,
And pours it all upon the peccant part.

Turning his head towards the pagan race,

Epic of Gilgamesh |

In the nation that is not
Nothing stands that stood before;

And the hater hates no more;
Lovers lying two and two
Ask not whom they sleep beside,
And the bridegroom all night through
Never turns him to the bride.

Gilt with the summer's
burnished

Will stop thy little tale or song
To gaze upon its crimping stream.
