Love's Justification. First Reading.
Ben pu talor col mio. Sometimes my love I dare to entertain With soaring hope not over-credulous; Since if all human loves were impious, Unto what end did God the world ordain? For loving thee what license is more plain Than that I praise thereby the glorious Source of all joys divine, that comfort us In thee, and with chaste fires our soul sustain? False hope belongs unto that love alone Which with declining beauty wanes and dies, And, like the face it worships, fades away. That hope is true which the pure heart hath known, Which alters not with time or death's decay, Yielding on earth earnest of Paradise.
