Wit-fireworks fizzed off while day craved no flame;

How should the night receive her due of fire

Flared out in Wasps and Horses, Clouds and Birds,

Prodigiously a-crackle? Rest content!

The new adventure for the novel man

Born to that next success myself foresee

In right of where I reach before I rest.

At end of a long course, straight all the way,

Well may there tremble somewhat into ken

The untrod path, clouds veiled from earlier gaze!
