V. Behaviour

Grace, Beauty, and Caprice

Build this golden portal;

Graceful women, chosen men,

Dazzle every mortal:

Their sweet and lofty countenance

His enchanting food;

He need not go to them, their forms

Beset his solitude.

He looketh seldom in their face,

His eyes explore the ground,

The green grass is a looking-glass

Whereon their traits are found.

Little he says to them,

So dances his heart in his breast,

Their tranquil mien bereaveth him

Of wit, of words, of rest.

Too weak to win, too fond to shun

The tyrants of his doom,

The much-deceived Endymion

Slips behind a tomb.
