Perchance I am glad; you merit greater praise;

Because they are too glorious to be gained,

Yon do not blindly cling to them and die;

You fell, but have not sullenly refused

To rise, because an angel worsted you

In wrestling, though the world holds not your peer;

And though too harsh and sudden is the change

To yield content as yet, still you pursue

The ungracious path as though 't were rosy-strewn.

'T is well: and your reward, or soon or late,
