John Suckling, The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse… (1910)

“ Heaven were not heaven, if we knew what it were.
And as in prospects we are there pleas'd most,⁠25
Where something keeps the eye from being lost,
And leaves us room to guess; so here restraint
Holds up delight, that with excess would faint. ”
