Sol 5.6

  1. I visited by night, in rapture, a vernal garden;

    the dew spent the night shimmering among its blossoms.

  2. A character your lifetime assumes but once—

    and whoever assumes a character returns to his native nature.

  3. Were youth to delight a man throughout his life,

    the wearing thin of his aspirations would bring him low.
