Could wing thy faith beyond the reach of sense,

That thou didst seem to see me! Take the lock,

And match it nicely with this mother crop

That bore it. More; behold this web,[n20] the fruit

Of thine own toil, the strokes of thine own shuttle,

The wild beasts of the woods by thine own hand

Empictured! Nay, be calm, and keep thy joy

Within wise bounds. Too well I know that they

Who should be friends here are our bitterest foes.
