“But only for her Spirit shall she live,
Unsoiled by earth, fresh, chaste, and innocent;
And all a Spirit dares, or can, I'll give:
And sure I thus can make her far more blest,
Unsoiled by earth, fresh, chaste, and innocent;
And all a Spirit dares, or can, I'll give:
And sure I thus can make her far more blest,

“Framed as she is, than mortal love could do:
For more than mortal's to this creature given;
She's spirit more than half; her beauty's hue
Is of the sky, and speaks my native heaven.
For more than mortal's to this creature given;
She's spirit more than half; her beauty's hue
Is of the sky, and speaks my native heaven.
