Pagina 161 - In loving thou dost well, in passion not, Wherein true love consists not : love refines The thoughts, and heart enlarges : hath his seat In reason, and is judicious; is the scale By which to heav'nly love thou may'st ascend, Not sunk in carnal pleasure ; for which cause Among the beasts no mate for thee was found.
