第10章 IX

I not for this (for that were wrong) opine That you should cease to love; for you, without A lover, like uncultivated vine, Would be, that has no prop to wind about.

But the first down I pray you to decline, To fly the volatile, inconstant rout;

To make your choice the riper fruits among, Nor yet to gather what too long has hung.
