Digitized by VjOOQ IC ODE OP LOVE 121 Ne quel ch* en me pud dir ne far dif esa ; Et pur convien che' I mio concetto esprima Forza contro ad mag- gior forza non vale. Ma perchfi al pigro in- gegno amor quell' ale Promesso ba, con le qual nel cor mio in prima Discese, bencb^ in cima Credo per mai partir dalle sue piume Fa nido, quanto el lume Del suo vivo splendor fia al cor mio scorta Spero aprir quel che di lui ascoso hor porta. 12-18. Love condescending to the soul, by the same act draws the s...oul upward to itself. The object of Intellectual Love is Absolute Truth, to which, so far as he is able to follow Love's leading, the poet may attain. 14. On high. To indicate the higher, or intellectual, faculties. Balks at the burden, nor excuse can show ; And yet my message it must needs impart, Strength against great- er strength availing nought. 11 Since Love has prom- ised to my sluggish thought Those wings wherewith he entered first my breast, Therein on high to nest, And thence, methinks, now never to take flight; 15 So in the guiding light Of his Uve glory I may still disclose What of him privily my spirit knows.
