The captive void of noble rage | B |
The linnet born within the cage | B |
That never knew the summer woods | C |
I envy not the beast that takes | D |
His license in the field of time | E |
Unfetter'd by the sense of crime | E |
To whom a conscience never wakes | D |
Nor what may count itself as blest | F |
The heart that never plighted troth | G |
But stagnates in the weeds of sloth | G |
Nor any want begotten rest | F |

I hold it true whate'er befall | H |
I feel it when I sorrow most | I |
'Tis better to have loved and lost | J |
Than never to have loved at all | H |
