One thought of thee puts all the pomp to flight, Priests, tapers, temples, swim before my sight.

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish …

See my lips tremble and my eyeballs roll, Suck my last breath, and catch my flying soul.

And love the offender, yet detest the offence.
