Accept good with bad, till unseemly debate

Turns concord—despair, acquiescence in fate.

Who works this but Zeus? Are not instinct and impulse,

Not concept and incept his work through Man's soul

On Man's sense? Just as wine ere it reach brain must brim pulse,

Zeus' flash stings the mind that speeds body to goal,

Bids pause at no part but press on, reach the whole.

For petty and poor is the part ye envisage

When—(quaff away, cummers!)—ye view, last and first,

As evil Man's earthly existence. Come! Is age,
