The True Beatitude
(BOUTS-RIMeS)
They say, when the Great Prompter's hand shall ring
— Down the last curtain upon earth and sea,
— All the Good Mimes will have eternity
To praise their Author, worship love and sing;
Or to the walls of Heaven wandering
— Look down on those damned for a fretful d — — ,
— Mock them (all theologians agree
On this reward for virtue), laugh, and fling
New sulphur on the sin-incarnadined . . .
— Ah, Love! still temporal, and still atmospheric,
— — Teleologically unperturbed,
We share a peace by no divine divined,
— An earthly garden hidden from any cleric,
— — Untrodden of God, by no Eternal curbed.
