Wanting a will, to quicken and exert,

Like thine—existence cannot satiate,

Cannot surprise? Laugh thou at envious fate,

Who, from earth's simplest combination stampt

With individuality—uncrampt

By living its faint elemental life,

Dost soar to heaven's complexest essence, rife

With grandeurs, unaffronted to the last,

For honor,

Equal to being all!"
