How shall I lose the sin yet keep the sense,
And love th' offender, yet detest the offence?

Eloise to Abelard (1717)

Condemned whole years in absence to deplore,
And image charms he must behold no more.

Eloise to Abelard (1717)

Speed the soft intercourse from soul to soul,
And waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole.

Eloise to Abelard (1717)
