EPIGRAPH: ...Bearing aloft another Ganymede
On pinions imped, as 't were, but not past bearing,
Nor unfit yet for the fowler's purposes;
Feathered, in short, as a prince o' th'air – no moorgame.
If Paracelsus weighs that jot, this tittle,
God knows your atomy were ponderable –
(Love weighing t'other pan down!) ...
... in a word,
In half a word's space, – let's say, ere you flinched,
Or Paracelsus wove one of those thoughts,
Lighter than lad's-love, delicate as death,
I'd draft you thither.
