First lines
In which she morally censures a rose, and thereby all that resemble it
O rose divine, in gentle cultivation you are, with all your fragrant subtlety, tuition, purple-hued, to loveliness, snow-white instruction to the beautiful; intimation of a human structure, example of gentility in vain, in whose one being nature has united the joyful cradle and the mournful grave; how haughty in your pomp, presumptuous one, how proud when you disdain the threat of death, then, in a swoon and shriveling, you give a withered vision of a failing self; and so, with your wise death and foolish life, in living you deceive, dying you teach!
