To draw his final breath, to feel

Some mountain-heaving Titan's weight

Oppressing him, to owe his death

To some wild, raging beast. But no,

Poor soul, because of thine own hand

There is no deadly monster more.1215

What worthy author of thy death,

Save that right hand of thine, is left?

Hercules: Alas, what Scorpion, what Cancer, torn

From Summer's burning zone, inflames my breast?
