I’ll have it out, whether my life is one

With life of yours, and if it be that Nature

In mock and gibe enknots me with a creature

For ever—one to whom I’m naught, who can

Avenge her thus, nay stand here as you do!

Away! (To The Judges.) You halt? My sentence will no jot

Admit retraction! (Seeing they still hesitate.) Or have I missed the point?

[16.] Insert:

Since you are not for me nor yet against.
