1.
Unfelt unheard, unseen,
I've left my little queen,
Her languid arms in silver slumber lying:
Ah! through their nestling touch,
Who -- who could tell how much
There is for madness -- cruel, or complying?
2.
Those faery lids how sleek!
Those lips how moist! -- they speak,
In ripest quiet, shadows of sweet sounds:
Into my fancy's ear
Melting a burden dear,
How "Love doth know no fullness, nor no bounds."
3.
True -- tender monitors!
I bend unto your laws:
This sweetest day for dalliance was born!
So, without more ado,
I'll feel my heaven anew,
For all the blushing of the hasty morn.
'These lines stand next to 'Think not of it, sweet one, so' in the Literary Remains (1848), and are also assigned to the year 1817. Lord Houghton gave the quotation in the last line of stanza 2 as,
"Love doth know no fullness and no bounds."
In the Aldine edition it was corrected by the substitution of 'nor' for 'and.' From the manuscript it would not appear that Keats was responsible for misquoting Shakespeare.'
