    If it were in my power, I would be wiser; but a newly felt power
    carries me off in spite of myself; love leads me one way, my
    understanding another.

    Sed trahit invitam nova vis; aliudque Cupido,
    Mens aliud.]

Sometimes my erroneous needle does incline;
But yet (so strong the sympathy)
It turns, and points again to Thee.
