Be memorized by who records my time.

Yet if in purity and patience, if

In faith held fast despite the plucking fiend,

Safe like the signet stone with the new name

That saints are known by,—if in right returned

For wrong, most pardon for worst injury,

If there be any virtue, any praise,—

Then will this woman-child have proved—who knows?—

Just the one prize vouchsafed unworthy me,

Seven years a gardener of the untoward ground
