    Who wrote this poem?
    "The time I've lost in wooing,
    In watching and pursuing
    The light that lies
    In woman's eyes,
    Has been my heart's undoing.
    Tho' Wisdom oft has sought me,
    I scorn'd the lore she brought me,
    My only books
    Were women's looks,
    And folly's all they taught me.

    Her smile when Beauty granted,
    I hung with gaze enchanted,
    Like him the Sprite
    Whom maids by night
    Oft meet in glen that's haunted.
    Like him, too, Beauty won me;
    But when the spell was on me,
    If once their ray
    Was turn'd away,
    O! winds could not outrun me.

    And are those follies going?
    And is my proud heart growing
    Too cold or wise
    For brillant eyes
    Again to set it glowing?
    No -- vain, alas! th' endeavour
    From bonds so sweet to sever: --
    Poor Wisdom's chance
    Against a glance
    Is now as weak as ever"
