XVII

What were seen? None knows, none ever shall know. 180

Only this is sure--the sight were other,

Not the moon's same side, born late in Florence,

Dying now impoverished here in London.

God be thanked, the meanest of his creatures

Boasts two soul-sides, one to face the world with, 185

One to show a woman when he loves her!
