Whereby to save it,—there begins the doubt

Permitted you, imperative on me;

Were mine the best means? Did I work aright

With powers appointed me?—since powers denied

Concern me nothing.

Well, my work reviewed

Fairly, leaves more hope than discouragement.

First, there 's the deed done: what I found, I leave,—

What tottered, I kept stable: if it stand

One month, without sustainment, still thank me
