the bright mask for a moment is dropped,

once the mask has again been resumed,
you scarce dare believe has existence,
save in your disordered fancy.
The pang is sharp that accompanies
such knowledge, and we would that every
face should be an index of the heart; vet
after all, / know not 'twere best that man
should swear his heart upon his sleeve
for every daw to peck at, " for vice would
