He to whose view Stern melancholy The destiny of mortals shows, In the hue Most dark and true ; He who knows What sorrows man is born to bear, What sins to do, Can he suppose That it can be a mortal's prayer To be a father, and to send Others into the world to share The curses that himself attend ? We laugh at this, yet might we weep, For folly so insane To contemplation deep Presents a sight of pain ! Childless mortal ! check the prayer Thou wouldst proffer for an heir ! 46 THE IMMORTAL. Not n...ame and fortune alone would be His inheritance from thee. No, ah no ! he would inherit All the damning sins that stain, All the pangs that wring thy spirit ! Man but lives for sin and pain ! Is it then not truly said, Favored is the childless bed ? CHORUS. Favored is the childless bed ! ARAMETH. Lay to heart what we have spoken ; Answer not the spell is broken ! ANDREA. My lord you have been silent long, as rapt In some deep meditation ; may we ask To know its nature ? MORELLI. In your ignorance Be happy.
