To this the wisdom replied, with a sigh of glad- ness, How I wish, says she, that thou mightest never un- derstand more than one, and that the other had been ban- ished at the utmost distance and forever from our Helicon ! In this case we would continue ever to ...return to thee an exchange of the love with which thou lately entreatedst us, with so much sweetness, to favor thee ; but allow me first to describe what is the quality of our love ; for there is nothing which lies concealed in a shade, that can be made to appear, unless it be presented in the light; after- wards, if you please, I will proceed to show what is pro- perly our own, what is freedom, and what is free-will. 61.
