Wherefore, who may! The Poet's mood comes next.
Was he not wishful the poetic vein
"Should pulse within him? Jochanan, thou reck'st
Little of what a generous flood shall soon
Float thy clogged spirit free and unperplexed
"Above dry dubitation! Song 's the boon
Shall make amends for my untoward mistake
That Joshua-like thou couldst bid sun and moon—
"Fighter and Lover,—which for most men make
All they descry in heaven,—stand both stock-still
