God's love, that I should live, the man I am,

On orders, warrants, patents and the like,

As if there were no glowing eye i' the world

To glance straight inspiration to my brain,

No glorious heart to give mine twice the beats!

For, see—my doubt, where is it?—fear? 't is flown!

And Florence and her anger are a tale

To scare a child! Why, half-a-dozen words

Will tell her, spoken as I now can speak,

Her error, my past folly—and all 's right,
