To do right, and the daring aught save leave

Right undone, I did find myself at last

I' the dark before the villa with my friends,

And made the experiment, the final test,

Ultimate chance that ever was to be

For the wretchedness inside. I knocked—pronounced

The name, the predetermined touch for truth,

"What welcome for the wanderer? Open straight—"

To the friend, physician, friar upon his rounds,

Traveller belated, beggar lame and blind?
