Thelema's lively all admire	A
Her charms but she's too full of fire	B
Impatience ever racks her breast	C
Her heart a stranger is to rest	C
A jocund youth of bulky size	D
This nymph beheld with tender eyes	D
From hers his humor differed quite	E
Black does not differ more from white	E
On his broad face and open mien	F
There dwelt tranquility serene	F
His converse is from languor free	G
And boisterous vivacity	E
His sleep was sound and sweet at night	E
Active he was at morn like light	E
As day advanced he pleased still more	H
Macareus was the name he bore	H
His mistress void of thought as fair	I
Tormented him with too much care	I
She adoration thought her due	E
And into fierce reproaches flew	E
Her Macareus with laughter left	E
And of all hopes of bliss bereft	E
From clime to clime like mad she ran	J
To seek the dear the faithless man	J
From him she could not live content	E
So first of all to court she went	E
There she of every one inquired	E
'Is Macareus with you retired '	K
Hearing that name the witlings there	I
To laugh and smile could scarce forbear	I
'Madam ' said they 'who is this squire	I
Macareus for whom you inquire	I
Madam his character display	L
Or else we shan't know what to say '	K
'He is a man ' returned the fair	I
'Possessed of each endowment rare	I
A man of virtue so refined	E
He hated none of human kind	E
To whom no man e'er owed a spite	E
Who always knew to reason right	E
Who void of care lived still at ease	M
And knew all human kind to please '	K
The courtiers answered with a sneer	I
'You are not like to find him here	I
Mortals with such endowments rare	I
But seldom to the court repair '	K
The fair then to the city bent	E
Her way and stopped a convent	E
She thought that in that calm retreat	E
She might her tranquil lover meet	E
'Madam ' then said the under prior	I
The man for whom you thus inquire	I
We long have waited for in vain	N
To visit us he ne'er did deign	N
But such a loss to compensate	E
We've idle time and vigils late	E
We have our stated days of fasting	O
With discord and divisions lasting '	K
A short monk then with crown shaved o'er	I
Said 'Madam seek this man no more	I
For I'm by false reports misled	E
Or else your lover's long since dead '	K
What the monk insolently said	E
Made Thelema with rage grow red	E
'Brother ' said she 'I'd have you know	P
The man who has caused all my woe	P
Was made for me and me alone	Q
He's in this world on which I'm thrown	Q
With me he'll live and die content	E
I'm propery his element	E
Who aught else told you on my word	E
Has said a thing that's most absurd '	K
This said away the fair one ran	J
Resolved to find the inconstant man	J
'At Paris where the wits abound	E
Perhaps ' said she 'he may be found	E
The wits speak of him as a sage '	K
On of them said 'You by our page	R
Madam perhaps have been misled	E
When there of Macareus you read	E
We spoke of one we never knew '	K
Then near she to the law court drew	I
Shutting her eyes quick passed the fair	I
'My love ' she cried 'can't sure be there	I
There's some attraction in the Court	E
But who'd to this vile place resort	E
Themis' black followers needs must prove	S
Eternal foes to him I love '	K
Fair Thelema at Rameau's shrine	T
Where the muse utters strains divine	T
The man who her so much neglected	E
There to meet was what she expected	E
At those feasts oft she was a guest	E
Where meet gay people richly dressed	E
Such people as we all agree	I
To call the best of company	I
People of an address polite	E
She looked upon at the first sight	E
As perfect copies of her lover	I
But she soon after could discover	I
That striving most to appear the same	U
They still were widest of their aim	U
At last the fair one in despair	I
Finding how vain was all her care	I
And grown of her inquiries tired	E
To her retreat would have retired	E
The object which she there first spied	E
Was Macareus by her bedside	E
He waited there hid from her eyes	D
That he the fair one might surprise	D
'Henceforward ' said he 'live with me	I
From all inquietude be free	I
Do not like vain and haughty dames	V
Be too assuming in your claims	V
And if you would henceforth possess	W
My person and my tenderness	X
Never more make demands more high	Y
Than suits me with them to comply '	K
Who's understood by either name	U
Both of the lover and the dame	U
The folks who are profound in Greek	Z
Cannot be very far to seek	Z
Taught by this emblem they'll relate	E
What's to be every mortal's fate	E
Thee Macareus though all men choose	A2
Though much they love thee oft they lose	A2
And I'm persuaded that you dwell	B2
With me though this I fear to tell	B2
Who boasts that with thee he is blessed	E
By envy oft is dispossessed	E
A man should know to make thee sure	I
How to live happy while obscure	I
