A creature's duty, spend my last of breath

In bearing witness, even by my worst fault,

To the creature's obligation, absolute,

Perpetual: my worst fault protests, "The faith

Claims all of me: I would give all she claims,

But for a spice of doubt: the risk's too rash:

Double or quits, I play, but, all or naught,

Exceeds my courage: therefore, I descend

To the next faith with no dubiety—

Faith in the present life, made last as long
