FRAGMENT: “AMOR AETERNUS”.

[Published by Mrs. Shelley, “Poetical Works”, 1839, 1st edition.]

Wealth and dominion fade into the mass Of the great sea of human right and wrong, When once from our possession they must pass; But love, though misdirected, is among The things which are immortal, and surpass All that frail stuff which will be—or which was.

***
