Came to the rescue, bade prompt thwack of thong dispense

Quiet i' the kennel; taught that ocean might be blue,

And rolling and much more, and yet the soul have, too,

Its touch of God's own flame, which he may so expand,

"Who measurèd the waters i' the hollow of his hand,"

That ocean's self shall dry, turn dewdrop in respect

Of all-triumphant fire, matter with intellect

Once fairly matched; bade him who egged on hounds to bay,

Go curse, i' the poultry yard, his kind: "there let him lay"

The swan's one addled egg: which yet shall put to use,
