Whose life is that of heaven, than those who wear

The guises of that slattern of the soul,

Asceticism, shuffling toward far good,

Slipshod and snivelling?”—

“Now, that goes too far!”

Cried Grace. “Do I do this?—Ah, but I know

A man so moody!—Own it. Were I you,

I just would set to work. To work off whims,

The best way, say they, is to work them out;

One hand at work is worth ten heads that shirk.”
