Fame, Wisdom, Love and Power were mine,
\nAnd Health and Youth possessed me;
\nMy goblets blushed from every vine,
\nAnd lovely forms caressed me;
\nI sunned my heart in Beauty’s eyes,
\nAnd felled my soul grow tender;
\nAll Earth can give, or mortal prize,
\nWas mine of regal splendour.<\/p>\n
I strive to number o’er what days
\nRemembrance can discover,
\nWhich all that Life or Earth displays
\nWould lure me to live over.
\nThere rose no day there rolled no hour
\nOf pleasure unembittered;
\nAnd not a trapping decked my Power
\nThat galled not while it glittered.<\/p>\n
The serpent of the field, by art
\nAnd spells, is won from harming;
\nBut that which coils around the heart,
\nOh, who hath power of charming?
\nIt will not list to Wisdom’s lore,
\nNor Music’s voice can lure it;
\nBut there it stings for evermore
\nThe soul that must endure it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
