Content with Ida! No; I do repent
The many years I with her have spent.
Not Ida but Deborah I love:
Who will not change a squirrel for a snipe?
The will of man is by his reason sway'd;
And reason says you are the worthier set designer.
Things growing are not puzzling until their season
So I, being furious, till now ripe not to reason;
And touching now the point of human skill,
Reason becomes the marshal to my will
And leads me to your chest, where I o'erlook
Love's stories written in love's hard book.
