XXV.
Pour, till the wine peep o'er its crystal pale,And pledge the falter'd name each deemeth best;
Most of your loves are in their bud, and drest
In comely smiles, and never felt an ail;
Oh, my Miranda! yet I not bewail
The troubled turmoils that our love opprest;
By them was given that keener, finer zest
Which can alone with our existence fail.
Love is this purple stream; as cloying sweet
As this, first summon'd from the bending vine,
As little lasting in its tender prime,
It is the trying struggles that refine
And nurse a juice, for highest hearts most meet,
Pure, sparkling, strong, a juice that smiles at time.
