To hope, and you ...

Par. To trust: you know the fruits!

Fest. Listen: I do believe, what you call trust

Was self-delusion at the best: for, see!

So long as God would kindly pioneer

A path for you, and screen you from the world,

Procure you full exemption from man's lot,

Man's common hopes and fears, on the mere pretext

Of your engagement in his service—yield you

A limitless license, make you God, in fact,
