Eve Left Adam, To Meet The Devil

Now Warm In Love, Now With'ring In My Bloom Lost In A Convent's Solitary Gloom!

Vast Chain Of Being! Which From God Began, Natures Ethereal, Human, Angel, Man, Beast, Bird, Fish, Insect, What No Eye Can See, No Glass Can Reach, From Infinite To Thee, From Thee To Nothing.

All Other Goods By Fortune's Hand Are Given, A Wife Is The Peculiar Gift Of Heaven.

To Teach Vain Wits That Science Little Known, T' Admire Superior Sense, And Doubt Their Own!

Not To Go Back Is Somewhat To Advance, And Men Must Walk, At Least, Before They Dance.
