Fit for fools: true wisdom's magic you—if e'er man—had 't!

"But perhaps you ask me, 'Since each ignoramus

While he profits by such magic persecutes the benefactor,

What should I expect but—once I render famous

You as Michael, Hans, and Peter—just one ingrate more?

If the vulgar prove thus, whatsoe'er the pelf be,

Pouched through my beneficence—and doom me dungeoned, chained, or racked, or

Fairly burned outright—how grateful will yourself be

When, his secret gained, you match your—master just before?'

"That 's where I await you! Please, revert a little!
