  1. E'en to retire, and live at peace at home ?
  2. No-might I gain a godhead to disclaim
  3. My glorious title to my endless flame,
  4. Divinity with scorn I would forswear,
  5. Such sweet, dear, tempting devils women are.
  6. Whene'er those flames grow faint, I quickly find
  7. A fierce black storm pour down upon my mind;
  8. Headlong I'm hurl'd like horsemen who in vain
  9. Their fury-flaming coursers would restrain.
