PREFERENCE. 



SENTIMENT. 



I have cherished 



A love for one whose beauty would have charmed 

 In Athens. And I know what 't is to love 

 A spiritual beauty, and behind the foil 

 Of an unblemished loveliness, still find 

 Charms of a higher order, and a power 

 Deeper and more resistless. Had I found 

 Such thoughts and feelings, such a clear deep streaj 

 Of mind in one whom vulgar men had thrown 

 As a dull pebble from them, I had loved 

 Not with a love less fond, nor with a flame 

 Of less devotion. 



Percival.
