Frost without, beneath thee fire; 
On the tiles thy leaves arc seen.

So the sage hath taught; 
Those are idle word3 that be not 
Blossoms born of thought.

The soul; as vows by passionate lovers breathed ; 
As female beauty to the sight unveiled 
in oil its glowing fulness of perfection t

Cornea with a power ot dreamy fascination.

And mak’st the share of other plants thy spoil.

Vulgar minds love outward show:
