A limpid fount; that spread in parting rills
Its current thence to serve the city brings;

The roses turn with envy pale,
And from their pierced hearts, rich with pain,
Send forth their fragrance like a wail.

known] except freedom (through the moral law), and this only so far as
it is inseparably implied in that law, and moreover all
supersensible objects to which reason might lead us, following the

the judgement; hence, the present remark will serve to guard against

typic of concepts.
