LXXIV.

A something all-sufficient for the heart
Is that for which the sex are always seeking:

But how to fill up that same vacant part?

There lies the rub—and this they are but weak in.

Frail mariners afloat without a chart,

They run before the wind through high seas breaking;

And when they have made the shore through every shock,

'T is odd—or odds—it may turn out a rock.
