Where pleasures of the mind, that dwell in realms of thought, abound, Folly, that springs from overweening woman's love, is never found

Meaning

The foolishness that results from devotion to a wife will never be found in those who possess a reflecting mind and a prosperity (flowing) therefrom.

Plain English meaning from the 19th-century prose translation by W. H. Drew and John Lazarus. The verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
