Till, near and far,
Ray on ray split the shroud:
Splendid, a star!”

Implies the worth of perfect chastity,
By fancying the flaw she cannot find.

Costs it more pain that this ye call
A "great event" should come to pass
From that? Untwine me from the mass
Of deeds which make up life, one deed
Power shall fall short in or exceed!
