From thine own blinding crown, to smile, and guide

This puny hand and let the work so wrought

Be styled my work,—hear me! I covet not

An influx of new power, an angel's soul:

Give but one hour of my first energy,

Of that invincible faith, but only one!

That I may cover with an eagle-glance

The truths I have, and spy some certain way
