"If one ponders on objects of the sense,There springs attraction,From attraction grows desire,Desire flames to fierce passion,Passion breeds recklessness.Then the memory all betrayed,Lets noble purposes go, and saps the mind.Till purposes, mind and man are allUndone."VocabularyTo Ponder:(verb) to think about something quietly and deeply.Fierce: ( adjective) violent, furious, aggressive.To breed:(verb) to produce, give birth to something.Recklessness: (noun) irresponsability or carelessness.To sap:(verb) to weaken the quality of mind.
