Excerpt from Galgano's Wooing, and Other Poems
Poems.
Galgano's Wooing.
O, weary is that hapless lover's fate
Who loves too well because he loves too late,
Who dreams of heaven in a burning lake
Without one grateful drop his thirst to slake,
Who worships still the virtue lie deplores,
And yet would fain destroy what he adores!
Such contradictions sway one human soul,
That best and worst alike its aims control!
And thus Galgano, a most noble youth
Famed in Sienna for his worth and truth,
Cast all the hope and interest of his life
On Messer Stricca's fair and stainless wife.
But careless of his passion and his pain,
Contented calmly o'er her home to reign,
Monaccio passed her dreamless, peaceful days
