While swimming, in five minutes row a mile,

Pull themselves three feet up with the left arm,

Do sums of fifty figures in their head,

And so on, by the scores of instances?

The Sludge with luck, who sees the spiritual facts,

His fellows strive and fail to see, may rank

With these, and share the advantage.

Ay, but share

The drawback! Think it over by yourself;

I have not heart, sir, and the fire 's gone gray.
