Yet some of you are most seraphic creatures⁠—

But times are altered since, a rhyming lover,

You read my stanzas, and I read your features:

And⁠—but no matter, all those things are over;

Still I have no dislike to learnèd natures,

For sometimes such a world of virtues cover;

I knew one woman of that purple school,

The loveliest, chastest, best, but⁠—quite a fool.
