All else I will endure; if, as I stand

Here, with my gains, thy thunder smite me down,

I bow me; 't is thy will, thy righteous will;

I o'erpass life's restrictions, and I die;

And if no trace of my career remain

Save a thin corpse at pleasure of the wind

In these bright chambers level with the air,

See thou to it! But if my spirit fail,

My once proud spirit forsake me at the last,

Hast thou done well by me? So do not thou!
