Chapter 28 SPONSA DEI.

What is this Maiden fair,

The laughing of whose eye

Is in man's heart renew'd virginity;

Who yet sick longing breeds

For marriage which exceeds

The inventive guess of Love to satisfy

With hope of utter binding, and of loosing endless dear despair?

What gleams about her shine,

More transient than delight and more divine!

I
