He was beloved: or say at least, + 

He thought so, and existence charmed. + 

The credulous indeed are blest, + 

And he who, jealousy disarmed, + 

In sensual sweets his soul doth steep + 

As drunken tramps at nightfall sleep, + 

Or, parable more flattering, + 

As butterflies to blossoms cling. + 

But wretched who anticipates, + 

Whose brain no fond illusions daze, + 

Who every gesture, every phrase + 

In true interpretation hates: + 

Whose heart experience icy made + 

And yet oblivion forbade. + 
