"Love seeketh not itself to please, Nor for itself hath any care, But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell's despair."So sung a little clod of clay,
Trodden with the cattle's feet;
But a pebble of the brook Warbled out these meters meet: "Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in another's loss of ease,
And builds a hell in heaven's despite."
