I rendered rightly what proves wrongly wrought
Beside Paul's picture? Mine was true for me.
I saw that there are, first and above all,
The hidden forces, blind necessities,
Named Nature, but the thing's self unconceived:
Then follow—how dependent upon these,
We know not, how imposed above ourselves,
We well know—what I name the gods, a power
Various or one: for great and strong and good
Is there, and little, weak and bad there too,
