So long since, that I cannot say 'I give.'

All my belongings, what is summed in life,

I have submitted wholly—as man might,

At least, as I might, who am weak, not strong,—

Wholly, then, to your rule and governance,

So far as I had strength. My weakness was—

I felt a fascination, at each point

And pore of me, a Power as absolute

Claiming that soul should recognize her sway.

Oh, you were no whit clearlier Queen, I see,
