Is it, in Heav'n, a crime to love too well? To bear too tender, or too firm a heart, To act a lover's or a Roman's part? Is there no bright reversion in the sky, For those who greatly think, or bravely die?
More from Alexander Pope
What beck'ning ghost, along the moonlight shade Invites my steps, and points to yonder glade?
