Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Without that modest softening that enhances
The downcast eye, repentant of the pain
That its mild light creates to heal again:

And back from Carnal Error looking up
Repentant to its Intellectual Throne.
What is The Fire?—Ascetic Discipline,

A slave to pleasure is a slave to smoke!'
Such lays repentant did the Muse supply; 65
When as the Sun was hastening down the sky,

Look at the caitiff craven wights
Repentant, hurrying back!_
