Alas! thou sufferest, too, although thy pangs
Bring naught to birth, nothing create, nor serve!

The Undivine Comedy (1833)

Painting the sensual with thy hues divine,—
Thou turn'st away thy face, while scattering
Perchance upon his brow some fading flowers,
Of which he strives to twine a funeral crown,
Spending his life to weave a wreath of death!

The Undivine Comedy (1833)
