Something, a word, a tick o' the blood within

Admonishes: then back he sinks at once

To ashes, who was very fire before,

In sedulous recurrence to his trade

Whereby he earneth him the daily bread;

And studiously the humbler for that pride,

Professedly the faultier that he knows

God's secret, while he holds the thread of life.

Indeed the especial marking of the man

Is prone submission to the heavenly will—
