THE KINDNESS OF VENUS IN THE LIFE AND DEATH OF MAN. THIRD LETTER. Dear Forman, it is pleasant to forget Even sometimes a task of love. And yet I have no pleasure in the backwardness That makes the value of this letter less, For Death itself has driven my thought away From Lady Venus and her potent sway ; And she, displeased at my averted face, Withdraws in part perception of her grace. And how can I with easy quill indite, Conscious of having shunned a work so light 10 As praise of her ? I did ...intend to pen Her power o'er lives so free as birds and men ; How the quick whitethroat through a summer's day F 34 THE KINDNESS OF VENUS Wings to and fro in air a certain way To where a narrow, nettle-bounded pit Forbids his flight and scarce allows the flit Of eager, entering wings ; how he must rise And fall each even singing to the skies ; What clothes the chaffinch with a smart attire In Spring, and bids him swell the varied choir ; 20 What makes him pert, and elevate his crest, Or bows him to the service of the nest ; What drives asunder the harmonious throng Of gentle linnets just as days grow long, And sets each lone against the sinking sun To triumph weakly for the day now done.
