![]() The use of "forgot" instead of "forgotten" is common in old poems. So here, the meaning is that a "blameless vestal" (chaste woman) would be happy, forgetting the world, and forgotten by the world (unlike Eloisa). This is a sentence fragment (common in poetry), and the "subject" is only in the previous line. The second line, in more conventional syntax:įorgetting the world, and by the world forgotten. The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
