From Canto I.
The castle hight of Indolence,
And its false luxury;
Where for a little time, alas!
We lived right jollily.
O MORTAL man, who livest here by toil,
Do not complain of this thy hard estate;
That like an emmet thou must ever moil,
Is a sad sentence of an ancient date;
And, certes, there is for it...
