The World, which at the worst's a glorious blunder—

IV.

If it be chance—or, if it be according

To the old text, still better:—lest it should

Turn out so, we 'll say nothing 'gainst the wording,

As several people think such hazards rude.

They're right; our days are too brief for affording

Space to dispute what no one ever could

Decide, and everybody one day will

Know very clearly—or at least lie still.
