Begging for longevity, my temporal need

Ah Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits — and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!

Do not blame me, although it is bitter it is pleasant,
It is bitter because it is my life.
