That will with due decision make vs know
What we shall say we haue, and what we owe:
Thoughts speculatiue, their vnsure hopes relate,
But
certaine
issue, stroakes must arbitrate,
Towards which, aduance the warre.

Our life is a false nature--'tis not in
The harmony of things,--this hard decree,
This
uneradicable
taint of sin,
This boundless upas, this all-blasting tree,
Whose root is earth, whose leaves and branches be
The skies which rain their plagues on men like dew--
Disease, death, bondage, all the woes we see--
And worse, the woes we see not--which throb through
The immedicable soul, with heart-aches ever new.

[443] the momentary dews
Which, sparkling to the twilight stars, infuse
Freshness
in the green turf that wraps the dead,
Whose names are Mausoleums of the Muse,
Are gently prest with far more reverent tread
Than ever paced the slab which paves the princely head.
