    From whence still fresh-revolving pleasures flow,
    In books and love the mind one end pursues,
    And only change the expiring flames renews.

Countless the various species of mankind,
Countless the shades which sep'rate mind from mind;
No general object of desire is known,
Each has his will, and each pursues his own.
