Want ye a mate for millions? I am he.

Glory is mine, and glee-time evermore.

XII.

O men! O masters! O ye kings of grief!

Ye who control the world but not the grave,

What have ye done to make delight so brief,

Ye who have spurn'd the minstrel and the lyre?

I will not say: "Be patient." Ye are brave;

And ye shall guess the pangs of my desire.
