Stanzas - 17
Now since two bodies never were the same,
To seek two minds alike, vain is the quest:
Alleviation is what we should claim,
A soothing of the ills which life molest
From human sympathy; but he whose breast
Is fired with notion that he may discern
Being through whom he may be wholly blest,
Seeking for that which cannot be, will earn
Nought but conviction sad how idly he did yearn.
