Love prayed of Constancy: "Oh, stay with me
Past the sad changing years, till hair be white
And lost the dear remembrance of delight.
All will be well, whate'er the time or place,
So thou art near." . . . Then, in Love's lifted face
Looked Constancy, sad, smiling. "Stay with thee,
Thou winged sprite? . . . Alas, where wilt thou be?"
