fount

E’en in my utmost impotence I find

A fount of strange persistence in my soul;

Also, and that perchance is stronger still,

Face. Remember St. Giles's, scape-grace, where I fount

ei! complete uinbh u ol' poverty , resembling the fruit ofo

Love makes the life to be

A fount perpetual of virginity;

For, lo, the Elect

The innocent life that is and is not hers:

Unless, alas, this fount of my relief

By thy unheavenly grief

All toil of age, all hope of youth

Are shadows from the fount of fire

And mummers of the truth.

My pleasant days, because I could not mount

Into those regions ! The Morphean fount

Of that fine element that visions, dreams^

My eyes at once to death : but 'twas to live.

To take in draughts of life from the gold fount

Of kind and passionate looks ; to count, and count

And strikes the rock, and finds the vein,

And brings the water from the fount,--

The fount which shall not flow again.
