DANTE AND BEATRICE,

FROM 1282 TO 1290.

66

Haply I think of thee, and then my state,

Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings."

SHAKESPEARE-Sonnet xxix.
